On Chesil Beach
Adapted by Ian McEwan from his bestselling novel, On Chesil Beach, the drama centres on a young couple of drastically different backgrounds in the summer of 1962. Conservative, demure violinist Florence (Saoirse Ronan) and brash, working class graduate student Edward (Billy Howle) fall in love despite their different backgrounds and the film follows their idyllic courtship, sex and the societal pressure that can accompany physical intimacy, leading to an awkward and fateful wedding night. The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Billy Howle, Anne-Marie Duff, Adrian Scarborough, Emily Watson, and Samuel West.
