THE DEEP BLUE SEA


Beautiful, atmospheric and evocative, Terence Davies' drama about a woman trapped between a husband in a passionless marriage and a young alcoholic Royal Air Force pilot she admires in 1950 London shines.  Based on Terence Ratigan's classic play, "The Deep Blue Sea" most often recalls the vintage 1950s cinematic melancholia that resonated long after the end credits rolled.  The performances in this sumptuous, intelligent work are amazing, starting with Rachel Weisz as the conflicted woman.  Ann Mitchell is also good as a landlady, as is the ever-reliable Simon Russell Beale.  Well-directed by Mr. Davies, with impeccable cinematography by Floran Hoffmeister.  The opening ten minutes are exquisite.  Released in the U.S. in March 2012.  One hour and 38 minutes.  On Blu-Ray/DVD in the U.SDistributor: Music Box Films.  Original review
