By the Sea
2015, English. Directed by Angelina Jolie.
When we die on the inside, the outside is left wandering dangerously by the sea.
Set in France during the mid-1970s, Vanessa, a former dancer, and her husband Roland, an American writer, travel the country together. They seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in one quiet, seaside town they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants, such as a local bar/café-keeper and a hotel owner.
