45 Years

Drama Romance

2015, Movie, 1h 35min

In this exquisitely calibrated film, Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay perform a subtly off-kilter pas de deux as Kate and Geoff, an English couple who, on the eve of an anniversary celebration, find their long marriage shaken by the arrival of a letter to Geoff that unceremoniously collapses his past into their shared present. Director Andrew Haigh carries the tradition of British realist cinema to artful new heights in 45 YEARS, weaving the momentous into the mundane as the pair go about their daily lives, while the evocatively flat, wintry Norfolk landscape frames their struggle to maintain an increasingly untenable status quo. Loosely adapting a short story by David Constantine, Haigh shifts the focus from the slightly erratic Geoff to Kate, eliciting a remarkable, nuanced portrayal by Rampling of a woman’s gradual metamorphosis from unflappable wife to woman undone.

...it borrows not just a premise and passages of sharp dialogue from its source material, but also the barbed efficiency of the short-fiction format...

I most admire Haigh’s use of golden oldies, including era-appropriate selections picked by Kate to play during their party, that provide telling yet unobtrusive commentary.

...a brilliantly modulated character study of lives thrown off-kilter by a slowly expanding secret.

Music, too, is terrifying: old tunes with intense associations will occasionally come on the radio – songs that must either be loyally sung and danced along to, or firmly turned off.

There’s no room to hide, and Courtenay and Rampling are at the top of their game throughout, drawing us into their hopes and fears even as we watch them from a distance.

A quite masterpiece. Despite its dramatic essense the big drama on the outside doesn't appear but the drama inside the charachters are exceptional excecuted. Rampling and Courtenay are exceptionally good in this one.
