I, Anna
London-set noir thriller about the relationship between femme fatale Anna (Charlotte Rampling) and the detective investigating a brutal murder (Gabriel Byrne).
Anna is a divorced woman who re-enters the singles scene with a night of
speed dating. She hits it off with a fellow who later turns up murdered. The
detective investigating the murder (Byrne), himself going through a divorce,
takes a shine to Anna at fi rst sight but doesn’t
realise her connection to the victim. As a mutual attraction blossoms and an
ethically-dubious romance begins, Anna prepares to reveal a dark mystery.
Based on the Elsa Lewin’s novel of the same name.
Critic Reviews:
- " The story is perhaps better suited to a superior TV thriller but it's given an extra touch of class by the cast, direction and cinematography – something of a love letter to London. " – Anna Smith
- " This may be the first film noir to revolve around a lonely granny. " – Charlotte O'Sullivan
- " Barnaby Southcombe makes a distinguished directorial debut with this stylish and atmospheric film noir. " – Cosmo Landesman
