 BETWEEN TWO WOMEN

Dir: Steve Woodcock, UK, 2001, Beta SP, 92 mins

PG

Between Two Women 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.
