Ingrid Hoeben Ⓥ 🇧🇪<p>"Best of all, its greatness is not that born of grand spectacle, or cinematic bombast. Hauntingly minimal, Brief Encounter is a story told through tiny gestures, train timetables, and thoroughly mundane everyday activities made marvellous.

Watching Brief Encounter (1945) for the first time. Written and produced by Noel Coward and directed by David Lean, it's a black and white study in suburban infidelity and suppressed longing.

There's a great line from Celia Johnson's character which struck me, perhaps more than any other in the movie:

"It's awfully easy to lie when you know that you're trusted implicitly. So very easy and so very degrading."
