Spring International Film Festival - The Deep Blue Sea (UK)

In a deeply vulnerable performance, Rachel Weisz portrays Hester Collyer, a woman whose overpowering love threatens her well-being and alienates the men in her life. Hester is the wife of an upper-class judge and a free spirit trapped in a passionless marriage. Her encounter with Freddie Page, a troubled former Royal Air Force pilot, throws her life in turmoil, as their erotic relationship leaves her emotionally stranded and physically isolated. The film is an adaptation of British playwright Terence Rattigan's 1952 play, featuring one of the greatest roles for an actress in modern theatre.
