On Chesil Beach On Chesil Beach

Director: Dominic Cooke

Year: 2017

It is 1962, Florence and Edward, a young couple are on their honeymoon at an overcast English seaside spot. Florence is a disciplined violinist, raised in a cold vice of middle-class repression, where her mother crushed any sense of impulse with propriety. Edward offers Florence some promise of freedom. He was raised in the countryside in a more volatile family, and found liberation in literature and ideas. The two arrive at a Chesil Beach guest house in love and ready to begin their life together, but hopelessly ill-equipped for their first night. Adapted for the screen by Ian McEwan from his best-selling novella. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2017 - Gala Screening - Love Strand
