Synopsis
Adapted from a novel by Vladimir Nabokov, this is both an emotional drama and a psychological thriller. Can unworldly chess master John Turturro suppress the doubts caused by his parents' failed marriage and find love with socialite Emily Watson, while also breaking the ruinous hold exerted over him by former mentor Stuart Wilson? Director Marleen Gorris was drawn to the project by the prospect of analysing a man torn between two passions. But she has also succeeded in exploiting the romantic beauty of Lake Como in the 1920s to fashion a genuinely moving love story, impeccably played by an impressively apposite cast.
