Restless (2012 Edward Hall)

Utterly absorbing and interesting, cutting between (sometimes in the same scene) Charlotte Rampling (fabulous), Michelle Dockery and Michael Gambon in the seventies and Hayley Atwell (brilliant), Rufus Sewell, Thekla Reuten and Adrian Scarborough (good) in WWII. Terrific writing (William Boyd - is that three-legged dog in the screenplay?) with sinister, open end. Good music, too, by Lorne Balfe, shot by David Higgs. The shocks are quite shocking, the laughs few. Summer of 39 came to mind more than once. Not sure why we took so long to watch it again. James Norton also has small part.
