| Overview: | Andrew Birkin's award-winning, ground-breaking adaptation of Ian McEwan's critically acclaimed novel of the same name.
When a family of four fatherless children hide their mother's death to avoid going to an orphanage, the eldest two think they are capable of assuming the mature roles forced upon them.
Parenthood and maturity, however, bring with it stronger urges, urges which brother Jack (Andrew Robertson) and sister Julie (Charlotte Gainsbourg) find hard to resist.
Dreamy visuals, a haunting soundtrack, and near perfect performances make this film a feast for the imagination.
