45 Years at the Burns
45 Years sets us at ease as it opens to the bucolic English
countryside, and the lilting tone of Charlotte Rampling’s lovely ascent into
the golden years of a long, fruitful romance. But the shadow of a past love
puts the basking at bay and turns the glacially paced plot into a cascade that
will leave you feeling as though you were buried in an avalanche.
All unsuspecting and harmoniously content, optimism still shines
through in eyes that definitely show all the time that has passed since her
duplicity ripped apart Paul Newman’s soul in The Verdict 33 years ago. What comes around not on your docket, Kate
Mercer finds her husband Geoff (Tom Courtenay) distraught over an opened
letter. “They found her,” he states
flatly of the women before her, whose existence was disclosed at the outset of
their relationship.
