CGiii Comment

The music is grotesque...
 
A little dialogue may have helped...but, this take on Brief Encounter is 10 minutes too long.
 
Trailer...
 

The(ir) Blurb...

Richard Kwietniowski's short film lovingly twists David Lean's stiff-upper-lipped romance 'Brief Encounter' into a rich and witty contemporary melodrama, with two devilishly handsome young men standing in for Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard.
