Product Information
Adapted from the play by Terence Rattigan, THE DEEP BLUE SEA stars Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz as Hester Collyer, the troubled wife of high court judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale). Racked with emotional problems, Hester turns her back on her loveless marriage and sets up house with young ex-RAF pilot, Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston). When her lover proves to be shallow and unreliable, Hester finds herself stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, with suicide seeming to be the only option. The play was first adapted to screen in 1955, with Vivien Leigh as the tragic heroine.Product Identifiers

ReviewsEmpire Magazine - In an age of hubbub, its patient elegance is a rare thing we should nurture., Guardian UK - The Deep Blue Sea is a melancholy film without a doubt, but with great sweetness and delicacy., Time Out - It's sad as a story and deeply evocative as a period piece., Daily Telegraph - The scars of the heart have their outward reflection on these dark, broken streets, with little pockets of warmth and solace in the pubs where Londoners huddle.
