From Joe Wright, the BAFTA Award-winning director of “Pride & Prejudice”, comes “Atonement” - beautifully adapted from the best selling novel by Ian McEwan. Nominated for seven Golden Globes®, “Atonement” is a classic British story of romance, misconception, jealousy, guilt and justice that will tug at the heartstrings. With a dream cast headed up by Academy Award® nominated actress Keira Knightley starring opposite James McAvoy (BAFTA Award nominee for “The Last King of Scotland”), the pair star as a mixed-class couple whose love is doomed by a child's lie and World War II. Atonement is available to own on DVD on 4th February courtesy of Universal Pictures (UK).
Shot on location in the U.K. and spanning several decades, the film's story begins in 1935 on the hottest day of the year. 13 year-old Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) sees her older sister Cecilia (Knightley) strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching Cecilia is their housekeeper's son Robbie Turner (McAvoy) a childhood friend who, along with Briony's sister, has recently graduated from Cambridge.
Cecilia and Robbie have strong feelings for each other but Briony, a fiercely self-possessed writer, who also has a crush on Robbie, cruelly shatters their hopes and dreams when she misinterprets an intimate encounter between the two that she glimpses from a distance, providing her with the opportunity to invent a false accusation against Robbie that all three characters will regret for the rest of their lives. Over the years, Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love. This stunning romantic British adaptation is a ‘must have’ self-purchase and an ideal gift for Valentine’s Day. “Atonement” – the greatest love story of the year, is available to own on DVD from 4th February courtesy of Universal Pictures (UK), and features a host of extras including deleted scenes with commentary by Director Joe Wright, The Making of Atonement, Novel to Screen and Feature Commentary with Director Joe Wright.
