Product Description

Anna (Susan Hampshire) arrives in Jersey, determined to escape her personal troubles, and meets Hugh (Michael Petrovitch). Hugh has a tremendous affinity with the sea and as he shows Anna round the island they begin to fall in love. Hugh persuades Anna not to return to her husband and they go to the old house that Hugh shares with his brother, George (Frank Finlay). George resents the intrusion of a woman and the brothers fall out when he discovers them in bed. They flee to a remote part of Scotland and life is bliss until one day Hugh is found dead on the beach. Anna however believes that their love can overcome death. One morning, Anna is proved right...


Synopsis

A love story with a difference - a difference which is sinister and macabre and yet beautiful and touching.

3.0 out of 5 stars Uncomfortable Jersey!, 25 Jul 2008
By fegMANIA! (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
  
Here's an oddity. As with many of Odeon's laudable "Best Of British Collection" , the fact that this little-seen film is available on DVD at all makes up for the picture quality, which in this case tends to deteriorate as it goes along. Even so, this 'bare-bones' release is still a marked improvement on the 1979 rental VHS and it shouldn't distract too much from the film itself, especially for anybody seeing this for the first time.

In the film's favour are its dismal and genuinely unsettling atmosphere, its haunting musical score and what might be Susan Hampshire's finest performance on celluloid (especially in the 'Scottish beach scenes' from which the cover image is taken.) By way of contrast, certain other cast members must have been left picking splinters from their teeth well into 1973 and the film is further let down by a narrative that's something of a structural mess. It feels as though quite a few scenes might have been lopped out at the editing stage, in true "Wicker Man" style.

Speaking of which, this DVD still classes the film as a horror, which might raise the hopes of genre fans a touch too high: it's primarily a glum, contemporary love story that goes wrong in a ghastly way, and while there's certainly a zombie present, devotees of other Tigon films available on DVD could be disappointed. The horror, where it comes, is disturbingly real. It's emotional as well as physical horror that the audience is asked to imagine, and that's another of the film's strengths.

All in all, it's a very welcome addition to Odeon's range; one for the connoisseurs and the curious.

3.0 out of 5 stars Neither the Sea nor the Sand, 5 Jul 2009
By Ms. L. R. Plant-wells "'Film Phan'" (South Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
[[ASIN:B0019LZ1EY Neither The Sea Nor The Sand [1972] [DVD]

A couple fall in love and spend idyllic hours walking on a remote beach. He falls, having suffered a heart attack. He is pronounced dead but the following day seems to have made a miraculous recovery.. but he is not exactly talkative and seems rather pale....

I had been searching for this DVD for over a year when I found it on Amazon. I had seen it many years ago on TV and found it fascinating. The the 'plot' is rather unusual. ( Nearly every week I scanned my TV guide expecting it see it again but it never seems to have been repeated)
I suppose it could be described as a 'B' movie. If you liked Truly, Madly, Deeply you may enjoy it. It is slightly 'macabre' although I would hardly place it in the Horror section.

4.0 out of 5 stars An oddity, 2 Feb 2007
This review is from: Neither the Sea Nor the Sand [DVD] [1972] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I saw this film when I was 11, and haven't seen or heard of it since.

It's basically about a young couple in love, on holiday, I think, who, I'm not sure what happens but the guy dies, and then rises from the dead to be with his loved one. However, he doesn't speak and his body is decomposing day by day. Finally they walk into the sea together, hence the title. A stupid film really,
I watched it at an age when I had a fixation on characters from gothic romances the likes of Heathcliff, Max de Winter, Rochester.

I'd probably switch it off if I were to see it now in my forties.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful., poetic, and very sad. Certainly worth seeing if you like quiet, soulful movies that make you think.
Story about a love that transcends death.
Beautfully filmed. (The picture quality was fine on my copy).
