BETWEEN TWO WOMEN | ||
|
Dir: Steve Woodcock, UK, 2001, Beta SP, 92 mins PG | |||
It is 1957. Ellen Hardy is unhappily married but is close to her ten year
old son Victor. Suffocated by the working class mores of small town
Huddersfield both Ellen and Victor focus their attentions on local
schoolteacher, Kathy, who is keen to encourage Victor's art. As the
friendship between the women grows, Ellen is torn between her duties as a
wife and a mother and a fear of admitting her true feelings for Kathy. The
burgeoning relationship between the two women marks the start of Ellen's
journey beyond a loveless marriage and the stifling conventions of
Huddersfield. This is a powerful tale of suppressed sexuality in which
poignant and sharply observant social commentary is interlaced with a
tender romance. In the excellent cast Barbara Marten shines brightest as
the working class mother struggling with her feelings for another woman.
