From the director behind Blue Valentine and A Place Beyond The Pines, Derek Cianofrance brings the film adaptation of the best selling novel of the same name; The Light Between Oceans.
The tale of ultimate love and sacrifice stars Alicia Vikander alongside real-life partner Michael Fassbender; two of this year’s film award nominees.
On a remote Australian island in the years following World War I, lighthouse keeper Tom Sherbourne (Fassbender) and his wife, Isabel (Vikander), discover a boat washed ashore, carrying a dead man and a two-month old baby.
After having tragic losses of her own babies, Isabel is convinced this child was sent to them to have as their own, despite Tom being against it. Her desperation and spirit convince him they should keep the baby and raise it as their own. However this choice proves to have emotionally torturous consequences…this is such an emotional film, with powerful performances by two great actors. You absolutely feel their pain and can’t help but be ripped apart with the dilemma that faces them, a real love story, this is such a beautiful film.
