Product Details:
Oscar� winners* Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons star as two separate pairs of lovers in this �jarring, engaging and beautifully visualised� film (Leonard Maltin). Embraced by audiences and critics alike � and garnering five 1981 Academy Award� nominations, including Best Actress (Streep) � The French Lieutenant�s Woman will forever remain one of the most literate, imaginative and stunning love stories ever to grace the screen. As Mike and Anna, two film actors involved in a tumultuous affair and Charles and Sarah, the star-crossed Victorian lovers whom the actors portray, Streep and Irons are at their compelling best. Just as his character Charles� reputation is ruined by the enigmatic Sarah, Mike finds he cannot accept the intangible affections of the wiley Anna. The skilful inter-weaving of these two love stories � one period, one contemporary � yields a fascinating insight into the passion and mystery that can pull two people together�and just as easily tear them apart.
