The French Lieutenant's Woman April 24, 2013

Based on John Fowles' original novel, Short Cuts Cinema Classics screens The French Lieutenant's Woman (Karel Reisz, 1981) in the Studio Theatre. 

John Fowles' original novel was distinguished by a literary technique employed while telling a story of Victorian sexual and social oppression. As we watch Sarah (Meryl Streep), a 19th-century Englishwoman ruined by an affair with a French lieutenant, enter into another disastrous relationship with principled young Charles (Jeremy Irons), we are made aware that we are actually seeing the making of a film. During the shooting of the film Anna and Mike, who play the characters of Sarah and Charles, embark on a parallel relationship.
