Based on a novel by Julia Barnes. A somewhat comedic drama with strong sexuality. Chris(Christian Bale)and Toni(Lee Ross)are two chums that grew up outside London and shared an aversion to Metroland. Is Metroland a state of mind; or does it mean married with family in the suburbs? They part for ten years...Chris going to Paris and falling in love with a beautiful Frenchwoman, Annick(Elsa Zylberstein). After the affair, Chris has taken back to London another acquaintance, Marion(Emily Watson). When Toni comes for a visit, he finds Chris and Marion married and living in the suburbs. The old friends begin comparing and re-evaluating each others life styles. Is Metroland really just a state of mind after-all?
Also appearing are Amanda Ryan, Jonathan Aris and Lucy Speed. I was most impressed with the stunning Zylberstein and her very arousing sex scenes. A very fluid soundtrack features music by Franciose Hardy, Hot Chocolate, Elvis Costello and Dire Straits.
