Novelist Maurice Bendrix (Ralph Fiennes) is writing about a rainy night in 1946 London. He runs into Henry Miles (Stephen Rea) who is married to Maurice's former lover Sarah (Julianne Moore).
Filmmaker Neil Jordan adapts a Graham Greene novel. While it doesn't have the exotic locations, the visuals have the brooding sad romanticism of a rainy London. That's the movie. It's a lot of longing looks, passionate loving, hidden jealousy, and powerfully suppressed emotions. It's not my cup of tea. Also they keep showing the same explosion to the point that I couldn't figure out what's happening. I'm not sure that I like this love triangle. I'm not sure that I care about this love triangle. There is no denying that the three leads are acting the heck out of the love triangle to their best abilities.
