The TVI Take
Best Actress nominee (Charlotte Rampling). A week before their 45th wedding anniversary, a couple's relationship is destabilized by news about the husband's former lover.
Very high cognitive demands — the film operates almost entirely through implication and what remains unsaid. Minimal educational value. One of the most psychologically precise films about long-term marriage ever made.
