Synopsis

After a chance meeting on a train platform, a married doctor (Trevor Howard) and a suburban housewife (Celia Johnson) begin a muted but passionate, and ultimately doomed, love affair. With its evocatively fog-enshrouded setting, Rachmaninoff’s swooning 2nd Piano Concerto and two remarkable central performances, David Lean’s Brief Encounter deftly explores the thrill, pain, and tenderness of an illicit romance. Even today the film positively quivers with pent-up emotion, 80 years after its release. You’ll want to remember every minute, always, always to the end of your days…
