Atonement subtitled (15) 2hrs 3mins

A contender for the 2008 Oscars. "An ambiguous, unsettling but masterful work with both assurance and panache, with career-best performances from James McAvoy and Keira Knightley".

Knightley and McAvoy star as lovers whose relationship is shattered by lies, jealousy and the onset of the Second World War. On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her older sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching Cecilia is their housekeeper's son Robbie Turner, a childhood friend who, along with Briony's sister, has recently graduated from Cambridge. By the end of that day the lives of all three will have been changed forever. Robbie and Cecilia will have crossed a boundary they had never before dared to approach and will have become victims of the younger girl's scheming imagination, and Briony will have committed a dreadful crime, the guilt for which will colour her entire life...
