I love a nice quiet, subtle, little character driven piece and that's what 45 Years is.
During the week leading up to their 45th wedding anniversary things are thrown off course when the husband receives news that the body of his fiancee from before his current marriage has been recovered in the Alps--where she fell and died 50 years before in a climbing accident.
The husband becomes moderately obsessed with his own memories and feelings about this woman whom he had pushed to the back of his mind for so long, while his wife is thrown into a spiral of confusion and jealousy.
Charlotte Rampling is stunning.
This beautiful film does a remarkable job staying with the wife, often refusing reverse shots and leaving others off camera.
5/5
