On Chesil Beach - 2017 - 6/10

Methodically structured love tale of star crossed lovers.
Crescendo followed by diminuendo.
The initial meeting. Eyes lock, the attraction is instant. The gradual absorption of the other.
The narrative pivots from this youthful connection to the fateful moment of intimacy.
They are awkward, taboos in 1962 are overpowering.
In flashbacks, one views gulfs in backgrounds, wealth, class.
Despite those, you root for the couple to navigate their misgivings and phobias.
Together, they share the real spark of an enduring love.
One can empathize, all of us have connected deeply with an other - and failed dismally with others.
