- Synopsis:
A passionate woman trapped in a sterile marriage, Sarah Miles (Julianne Moore) is immediately and irresistibly attracted to the handsome young novelist, Maurice Bendrix (Ralph Fiennes) when they meet at a party given by Sarah's worthy but dull civil servant husband, Henry (Stephen Rea). They begin a passionate, illicit and sexually liberating love affair. After five intense and passion-fuelled years, Sarah abruptly walks out of Maurice's life with no explanation, leaving him utterly bereft. Two years later, Bendrix has a chance meeting with Henry. His obsession with Sarah rekindled, he succumbs to his jealousy and arranges to have her followed by a private detective, Mr Parkis (Ian Hart). Haunted by memories of their affair, he re-enters her life in a desperate attempt to solve the mystery surrounding the end of the affair... - Actors:
