It's only apt that Terence Davies conveys moments of love and lust as fleeting glimpses, and the bulk of the narrative is a harsh reckoning with reality. Bleak as fuck. Running at 90 minutes and some change, The Deep Blue Sea involves us in an affair of fantasy and self-destruction, but Davies never allows for convention to take root in how it all unfolds. A series of fettered details flourish when they're placed out of order - the sporadic links and associations soon begin to paint a fractured portrait that is impossible to look away from. It doesn't hurt that the chilly amber glow of the images, courtesy of Florian Hoffmeister, is completely intoxicating. As soon as you catch a sight of that opening shot, you'll know you've entered the Davies Zone.

Love is possibly the strangest of all emotions, a potent mass of conflicting feelings that can take you to the skies and back down to cause irreparable harm to ourselves. Terrence Rattigan's adapted play studies the choices of a woman in the 50s who experiences lust for the first time and can't help but believe this is what love is really supposed to be like.
And that is the knife edge we are all placed on in the early, heady stage of a relationship, the physical bond that brings so many together. Rachel Weisz's Hester has never been exposed to that sort of passion, no doubt coming from a respectable family who approved her marriage to a middle-aged judge. This…

is there anything more cinematic than watching rachel weisz despondently smoke a cigarette

rachel being dumped in every single movie i watch... i just think it's not realistic

i would absolutely be okay with tom hiddleston forgetting my birthday every single year if that meant i got to hear his voice for even just one second of every single day

This was initially intended to be a thirst watch…. i did not expect for it to be so sombre and now my day is ruined

The Deep Blue Sea reminded me a lot of In the Mood For Love, with its melancholy atmosphere and the intense focus on seemingly small details. It's an amalgamation of emotionally powerful moments, held loosely together by a premise we've all seen before: a woman cheats on her older husband with an exciting younger man. When we meet Hester, we really don't know anything about her motivations or why she's cheating on her husband. She's obviously caught up with her pilot boyfriend and you're instantly wondering what was wrong with her marriage, if anything at all.
What transforms this small and predictable story into a fine film is Rachel Weisz's incredible performance. With such a melodramatic script and seemingly one…

Having since experienced the pleasure, joy, disappointment, and grief of which this movie’s fabric is made — in glances, expressions, intonations, cuts and colors and camera placement — it’s hilarious I watched this at 19. What the fuck could I have possibly gleaned from it.
Not all movies can be understood at every moment in your life. It's beautiful!
