Synopsis

Joe Wright cemented his place as a new, seriously talented director with his latest film, Atonement. Having already made some noise with his first film (the generally well received adaptation of Pride and Prejudice (2005)) Wright continues to bring history to the screen. Atonement was a greater challenge, requiring vast amounts of skill to do justice to Ian McEwan’s 2001 novel.

The movie spans several decades and moods. Three distinct time periods tell the story of Cecilia Tallis ( Keira Knightley), her little sister Briony (played by three separate actresses) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy). The story follows these three as their lives take place in the 1930′s upper-crust home of the Tallis’ where Robbie is the Cambridge-educated son of the groundskeeper, and through the devastation of WWII in France.
