1h 38m
Directed by Terence Davies • 2011 • United Kingdom, United States
Starring Rachel Weisz, Tom Hiddleston, Simon Russell Beale
Master chronicler of postwar England Terence Davies directs this ravishing adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s 1952 play about a woman whose overpowering love threatens her well-being and alienates the men in her life. In a deeply vulnerable performance, Rachel Weisz plays Hester Collyer, the wife of an upper-class judge (Simon Russell Beale) and a free spirit trapped in a passionless marriage. Her encounter with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a troubled former Royal Air Force pilot, throws her life into turmoil, as their erotic relationship leaves her emotionally stranded and physically isolated.
