Adoration
Adoration is a 2013 Australian/French drama movie presented on Blu-ray.
Based on the novella by the acclaimed Nobel Prize winning writer Doris Lessing, a fearless portrait of love, lust and the power of friendship, Adoration tells the story of Lil (Naomi Watts) and Roz (Robin Wright), two lifelong friends living in a tranquil Australian seaside town, who embark on separate, passionate affairs that will change them forever.
A Hopscotch Features co-production, Adoration was shot on the pictureseque north coast of NSW, and features an exquisite visual confidence coupled wtith a bold approach to storytelling. Adapted by Academy Award-winner Christopher Hampton (Atonement, Dangerous Liaisons) and directed by Anne Fontaine (Coco Before Chanel) Adoration, radiating with a sweltering sensuality, is a provocative, sexy and fascinating film.
