Beijing

UK film showcase

Acclaimed director and screenwriter Terence Davies will open British Film Week in Beijing by presenting his latest film, The Deep Blue Sea. The program will bring seven films produced or restored between 2010 and 2012, including The Deep Blue Sea, a destructive love affair across classes, starring Tom Hiddleston and Rachel Weisz; Submarine, an archetypal, coming-of-age British indie film; Wuthering Heights, an innovative re-telling of the English classic; acclaimed documentary Senna, created in memory of the great Brazilian racing-car driver Ayrton Senna; and Dreams of a Life, a true-life exploration of loneliness and anonymity in the big city.
