Searing drama that will prompt post-screening discussion and contemplation. Geoff (Tom Courtenay) has failed to fully explain to his wife of 45 years the full story of his first love. When a letter arrives that reveals the depth of that relationship and the dramatic events that led to its end, the fabric of their marriage starts to unravel. The timing of the revelation - just days before their fancy anniversary celebration - adds a level of suspense that drives the film forward. Charlotte Rampling is magnificent in her role as Kate, the wife whose world is turned upside down by the decades-long deception. Bonus: Based on a short story by David Constantine (book and story title: In Another Country) loosely based on a true tale.
