The Deep Blue Sea DVD
Adapted from Terrance Rattigan’s 1952 play, The Deep Blue Sea was written for the screen and directed by British director Terrance Davies (The House of Mirth).
Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener) and Tom Hiddleston (War Horse) both put in remarkable performances as the leads in a film also starring British theatre actor Simon Russell Beale (My Week with Marilyn).
Winning critical acclaim for its theatrical release in 2010, The Deep Blue Sea comes to DVD and Blu-ray 2 April 2012.
Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz) leads a privileged life in 1950s London as the beautiful wife of high court judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale).
To the shock of those around her, she walks out on her marriage to move in with young ex-RAF pilot, Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), with whom she has fallen passionately in love.
Set in post-war Britain, this adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s classic play, The Deep Blue Sea is a study of forbidden love, suppressed desire, and the fear of loneliness - but is at heart a deeply moving love story.
Stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, what - or whom - should Hester choose?
