By Nancy Tartaglione
Terence Davies' "The Deep Blue Sea" will close The 55th BFI London Film Festival, it was announced Tuesday. The film, starring Rachel Weisz, Tom Hiddleston and Simon Russell Beale, will have its UK premiere at the festival on October 27.
Set in 1950s London, the film sees Weisz plays Hester Collyer, the beautiful wife of a high court judge who walks out on her marriage to move in with young ex-RAF pilot.
Film is an adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play.
Sandra Hebron, the Festival's Artistic Director said, "It's a great pleasure to be able to close the Festival with this exquisite new feature from one of our most cherished directors. Terence Davies is a filmmaker who the BFI has supported from the very beginnings of his career, and in Terence Rattigan's centenary year, this beautifully directed and acted film is the perfect closing night film."
"The Deep Blue Sea" opens in the UK on November 25.
