Description

From the acclaimed director of The Crying Game and Interview with the Vampire comes a romantic story of desire and betrayal. The setting is war-torn England, 1939. Sarah Miles (Julianne Moore) is married to Henry (Stephen Rea), a man she loves but with whom she shares no intimacy. When she meets Maurice Bendrix (Ralph Fiennes), the two have an immediate attraction for each other and embark on a torrid affair. Their passion is as earth-shattering as the bombs that explode around them, until the day Sarah mysteriously and abruptly walks out of Maurice's life. Two years later, Maurice runs into Henry, who confides his suspicions of Sarah's infidelity. Fueled by his own jealousy and desperate to solve the mystery surrounding the end of their own romance, Maurice agrees to help. His investigation not only re-ignites his love for Sarah but also leads him to discover a devastating secret which will change their lives forever.

    A bit drawn out because there wasn't much of a story to tell. Moore was a terrible pick for two reasons: 1) she and Fiennes had zero chemistry, and 2) she couldn't fake, or maintain, a British accent. A lot of the same drama, and lines, in between sex scenes. If you're looking for something uplifting, look elsewhere.

    “Passionate”? Comatose and self-loathing is more accurate description of their self-destructive behavior.

    great love story. sentient adults and literate souls...but the trappings are familiar. love during wartime, loyalty but not attraction, respect that cannot survive against the fires of passion.
