This movie is astonishingly good. It is a dark 'gothic' tale of forbidden love, that never feels the need to play to the lowest common denominator.
John Fowles' novel The French Lieutenant's Woman has attracted a good deal of literary attention since it was published in 1969. Sometimes referred to as 'experimental', the novel had two different endings. The novel was adapted for the screen by renowned playwright Harold Pinter. Pinter's own work has attracted a great deal of attention, as some describe it as 'absurd', and others 'genius'. Pinter has added a new element to the story of the novel, which makes this movie a little strange, yet compelling. While the novel is set solely in the mid 19th century, Pinter's script has two parallel story lines, in two eras.
Mike (Jeremy Irons) and Anna (Meryl Streep) are starring in a movie called 'The French Lieutenant's Woman'. This movie is set in mid-nineteenth century England. In this movie, ambitious Charles (Jeremy Irons) is engaged to wealthy Erestina (Lynsey Baxter). All is going well until Charles has a chance meeting with Sarah (Meryl Streep). Sarah is considered to be a 'scarlet woman' and is socially shunned by the townsfolk. Charles is at first driven to distraction by Sarah, but soon he becomes obsessed with her. Meanwhile, there is a parallel storyline between Mike and Anna in the 1980s.
