A damaged relationship is stretched to its desperate limits in this
drama.
Anne (
Emily Watson) and
James (
Tom Wilkinson) are a seemingly happy and prosperous British couple who divide their time between a flat in London and a house in the country. However, their marriage is not as contented as one might imagine, and for years
James has turned a blind eye to just how deeply unhappy
Anne has become with him. Their lives together reach a crossroads when
Anne meets the handsome and charming
Bill Bule (
Rupert Everett);
Anne becomes deeply infatuated with him, which only reinforces her dissatisfaction with
James, but when the two become involved in an accident that kills another man,
Bill drops out of the picture and
James decides he must step forward to protect the woman he wed.
Separate Lies was the directorial debut from screenwriter
Julian Fellowes.
