Master chronicler of post-War England\, Terence Davies (&quo t\;The Long Day Closes\,"\; "\;The House of Mirth"\;) directs R achel Weisz as a woman whose overpowering love threatens her well-being and alienates the men in her life. In a deeply vulnerable performance\, Rachel Weisz plays Hester Collyer\, the wife of an upper-class judge (Simon Russe ll Beale) and a free spirit trapped in a passionless marriage. Her encounte r with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston)\, a troubled former Royal Air Force pi lot\, throws her life in turmoil\, as their erotic relationship leaves her emotionally stranded and physically isolated. The film is an adaptation of British playwright Terence Rattigan&rsquo\;s 1952 play\, featuring one of t he greatest roles for an actress in modern theatre.
\nThrough flashb acks\, Mr. Davies creates memorable cinematic compositions against the back drop of post-war England. His signature style includes beautiful tracking s hots as well as the use of popular music of the day\, and here Samuel Barbe r&rsquo\;s majestic Opus for Violin and Orchestra. Besides his two acclaime d semi-autobiographical features "\;Distant Voices\,"\; "\;Stil l Lives"\; and "\;The Long Day Closes\,"\; "\;Mr. Davies&qu ot\; films include "\;The House of Mirth\,"\; "\;The Neon Bible \,"\; and his masterful nonfiction exploration of his native city\, Liv erpool\, "\;Of Time and the City."\;
