The multi award winning Atonement, directed by Joe Wright, releases on DVD Feb 4th. This beautiful adaption of the bestselling novel by Ian McEwan, is a classic British story of romance, misconception, jealousy, guilt and justice that will tug at the heartstrings. Keira Knightley and James McAvoy star as a mixed-class couple whose love is doomed by a child's lie and World War II.
The film's story begins in 1935 on the hottest day of the year, when 13 year-old Briony Tallis sees her older sister, Cecilia, strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching Cecilia is their housekeeper's son Robbie Turner, a childhood friend who has recently graduated from Cambridge.
Cecilia and Robbie have strong feelings for each other but Briony, a fiercely self-possessed writer, who also has a crush on Robbie, cruelly shatters their hopes and dreams when she misinterprets an intimate encounter between the two that she glimpses from a distance, providing her with the opportunity to invent a false accusation against Robbie that all three characters will regret for the rest of their lives. Over the years, Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.
