The Weight of Water

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

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).
