This one of four films based on novels by Anita Shreve. It tells two stories, 100 years apart, the earlier one a double murder and events leading to it and thelatter partly an investiagtion of the murder by a photographer. Sean penn plays one of his typically brooding roles as he and his photgrapher wife spend a weekend with his brother and his girlfriend, the incredibly sexy and ofte topless Elizabeth Hurley, on a sailboat off new hampshire's Isle of Shoals, the scene also of the earlier story. Both stories are intercut throughout.Strangely, a major character in the book is completely missing and I cannot fathom why as that character is involved in a pivotal plot point. I liked this better the second time I saw it (just last night).
