THE DEEP BLUE SEA (2011)

Cast

Plot

Hester Collyer leads a privileged life in 1950s London as the beautiful wife of high court judge Sir William Collyer. To the shock of those around her, she walks out on her marriage to move in with young ex-RAF pilot, Freddie Page, with whom she has fallen passionately in love. Set in post-war Britain, this adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s play, remains painfully close to the original. An atmospherically shot but stagey, distant and emotionally repressed depiction of love and tragedy that feels out of step with the here and now.
