The Deep Blue Sea

British writer and director Terence Davies returned with another terrific drama with this old fashioned film reminiscent of "Brief Encounter" and "The End of the Affair." A married woman's love affair with a dashing pilot has tragic consequences for all involved. Davies adapted the play by Terence Rattigan and stays true to it time and place which shows its timelessness. The always reliable Rachel Weisz stars with another terrific performance while newcomer Tom Hiddleston holds his own as the leading man. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
