The Deep Blue Sea  (12A)   98 mins          

 Where can I see this film?

Director: Terence Davies Cinematography: Florian Hoffmeister Designer: James Merifield                  Tom Hiddleston as Freddie and Rachel Weisz as Hester

From Terence Rattigan’s original 1952 play, The Deep Blue Sea tells the story of Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz), the young wife of High Court judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale), who has embarked on a passionate affair with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a handsome young former RAF pilot troubled by his memories of the war.

As Hester's affair is discovered she leaves her life of comparative luxury and moves into a small dingy London flat with Freddie. Hester's new lover has awakened her sexuality, but the reckless, thrill-seeking Freddie can never give her the love and stability that her husband gave. Yet to return to a life without passion would be unbearable...
