Independent British distributors Artificial Eye have revealed that they will release on Blu-ray director Terence Davies' The Deep Blue Sea (2011), starring Rachel Weisz, Tom Hiddleston, and Simon Russell Beale. Earlier this year, the film had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Street date is: April 2.
Hester Collyer (Weisz) leads a privileged life in 1950s London as the beautiful wife of high court judge Sir William Collyer (Beale). To the shock of those around her, she walks out on her marriage to move in with young ex-RAF pilot, Freddie Page (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?
