Brief Encounter


Brief Encounter (1945)
IMDB #207 [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037558/]

The Gist:
What a tight little film, only an hour and twenty minutes and it accomplishes so much. I loved the noir set up at the train station in contrast to the pleasant country side surroundings during the day. David Lean also manages to create a very tender portrait of his actress through a voice over of her confessing her affair to her husband. Thankfully she doesn't actually confess to him, because that would remove us from the microcosm the film has set up around its two leads.
