We are transported back and forth through time as present day actors making a movie are parallel and overlapped with the characters and the story. We easily see the contrasts and the similarities between the Victorian Sarah and the modern Ann both played by Meryl Streep.
The story on the surface is a strait forwarded mystery and Sarah is not what see seems. However there are many depths to this film in what is says and what it does not. A biologist Charles Henry Smithson (Jeremy Irons) is finally engaged to a woman who has been trying to tie him down. He will inherit a place in her father’s empire if he wishes to do so. At the last moment he discovers a strange outcast woman that enchant hem and lures hem astray only to disappear from his life. The actors’ lives are similar.
Will Charles find Sarah or is his fate to be alone?
What about Ann and Mike?
Many people remember the picturesque scene of Sarah on the Cobb looking out to sea; however for me it is a scene where the actors are discussing how she gets caught on the brambles and trips. In the next scene it is played out.
