Review of The Deep Blue Sea (2011) by Eric G — 18 Dec 2011
The deep blue sea is vibrantly acted and one really feels the carcan of the 1940s british society, although universal feelings of pain in the matter of the heart are well rendered. It's a sad love story, very well acted with good rendition of the mood of the times, decor, songs, atmosphere.
I particularly liked the plan sequence at the beginning and the end of the film, where in one shot, we see the building where the main action takes place and most people who live in the building going about their business.
It's a nice and short way to set the stage. The film feels like the play it is coming from, which emphasizes the heaviness of the story and the slow pace adds to it. Every little noise is heard and I felt I was in the room with the protagonists.
The lighting was particularly good.
