Royal Navy captain Wentworth was haughtily turned down eight years ago as suitor of
pompous baronet Sir Walter Elliot's daughter Anne, despite true love. Now he visits their
former seaside country estate, rented by his brother-in-law, admiral Croft, so the

First the former lovers meet again on the estate, where they feel vibes again, but
neither dares admit them until it seems too late. Yet the truth becomes clear,
both have moved, but meet again in Bath.

Sommersby (1993) Trailer
Sommersby
She knew his face. His touch. His voice. She knew everything about him...
But the truth.

Sommersby wants to be a sweeping romantic epic set during the immediate months following the
American Civil War. Watching it, I imagined I could hear the producers selling it to the studio as the
next Gone with the Wind. The cast, crew, and approach to the material practically screams:
Romance! Adventure! Intrigue! All done in a perfectly tasteful manner, of course. The film goes
overboard on the tasteful part of the equation and the results are as bland as cold oatmeal.

Skin (2008) Trailer
Skin
SKIN is one of the most moving stories to emerge from apartheid South Africa: Sandra Laing is a
black child born in the 1950s to white Afrikaners, unaware of their black ancestry. Her parents are
rural shopkeepers serving the local black community, who lovingly bring her up as their white little girl.
But at the age of ten, Sandra is driven out of white society. The film follows Sandras thirty-year
journey from rejection to acceptance, betrayal to reconciliation, as she struggles to define her
place in a changing world - and triumphs against all odds.
