Video Description

Childless and in a deteriorating marriage, Anna fears she is condemned to a life on the periphery of events. Everything she is discovering now, she has arrived at too late. A summer holiday, with the family of an old school friend, becomes a reminder of a life she has not lived.

Sexual tensions simmer and Anna believes she has found a second chance. But as events slowly unravel, and the strains within this affluent bourgeois clique are revealed, she has to finally confront her inner turmoil and sadness.



Synopsis

Missed opportunities and forgotten dreams are brought to the forefront of Anna's mind, as she finds herself on holiday in Tuscany with a wealthier, more successful friend and their family. Contemplating the end of her own failing marriage, Anna watches as cracks begin to appear in the perfect bourgeois clan's relationship. In particular, between the smug self-righteous George and his put-upon son Oakley, within whom Anna finds a somewhat kindred spirit. Writer/director Joanna Hogg's sobering drama is bold in its morose reflection of human relationships, exposing the truths and desires identifiable in us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A reflective film with strong atmospheric imagery, 8 Feb 2009
By Geraldine "Mg" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This is a film that will make you think, make you cringe and make you want to go to Tuscany. It is one that you certainly won't forget quickly. It deals with the character of Anna who goes to stay with old friends in their Tuscan villa, arriving alone in the middle of the night and, significantly, unmet by her hosts leaving her to find her way to the villa in the dark on a dusty side road which is the opening scene of the film. This image of Anna dragging her suitcase along on her own gives us a key to her character in the film. She is with her friends but she does not belong to their world and although she tries to join them in all kinds of ways, some that may make you wince, she is ultimately rejected. The actors create an intense world of suppressed emotions and many things are left unsaid but can be observed clearly. The landscape of Tuscany shimmers in the heat but it is filled with menace and potential dangers. The director, Joanna Hogg, has created a very memorable film and I look forward to her next work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unrelated: debut film of the year for Joanna Hogg, 16 Feb 2009
By Mr. Dererk M. Wyatt - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A grand well crafted opening film from new writer-director Joanna Hogg; the film is set outside of Siena and involves three families in an all too typical tale with a couple of tense scenes and a not too disappointing ending.

1.0 out of 5 stars Like a Toff Big Brother, 12 Feb 2009
By R. Chapman (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Interesting, if flawed, attempt at an English Eric Rohmer (it reminded me of The Green Ray and La Collectionneuse) with without his talent. Sound on the DVD very poor, as is the image in the low light sequences. The acting and direction was good but let down by a weak script. I was so looking forward to it and so disappointed and let down by the over generous reviews. Not really one star but I had to balance the absurd five star review. Probaly two or three on balance
