As the title suggests, this film deals with the essence of early 20th century patriarchy and its eternal vagaries that have, invariably, always been, and for the foreseeable future, will be; it will always be relatable just as the the fugitive spirit, which is at the heart of the film will be.
The Fugitives of love, which is what this film may justly be titled in a European Latin language, are the two protagonists at apposing sides of their life stories: one bewildered by the status quo of the imperious, self-satisfaction of upper-class England, and the other insecure in the ageing domesticity of traditional married life.
Enter the serenity of the female, the yang to counter the ying,or vice-versa; not sure which is which :) whichever way around it is, the balance needs re-addressed for all 4 participants in this story, and there is one outsider who mingles as a reminder of the dastardly rules and regulations of the patriarchal society, though his contribution is minor in the film, it's this societal tenet which he represents that is the stumbling block, or stormy sea, which has to be viewed closely for its value or un-value.
The film itself is shot on the littoral of the United States, Massachussets I think, and i think I've misspelt that, but i'm not going to check. It's picturesque and lovely and so on, so it lends itself graciously to the story of intimacy between people; somewhat secluded with a clement climate and the occasional storm - fitting for the human relationships in general.
If you like romantic fantasy, even though this is grounded in tangible reality, interesting and engaging dialogue, a touch of frivolity, and fine representations of character then this film is one you should watch.
It's the nuances of pathos that inspire the spirit of progress.
