Sometimes it is worthwhile to escape to a period drama from yesteryear. This one called "The Heart Of Me" has a strong blend of acting with Helena Bonham Carter and Olivia Williams who play sisters in London, England after World War II. Olivia is one of the most underrated and most excellent actresses! You know she's good because you don't realize she was the actress who made the success for such films as The Sixth Sense, An Education and The Ghost Writer.
The plot depicts the consequences of a woman's torrid affair with her sister's husband. The film is an adaptation of Rosamond Lehmann's novel The Echoing Grove. It was filmed in the Isle of Man and it had a mixed reception. In his review Roger Ebert wrote: “Many of the complaints have to do with the fact that the characters are wealthy and upper class and speak English elegantly." Improve your elegance and watch this one. It's worth the trip to the past.
