New: The Escape [BFI] [having trouble viewing this email?]( [BFI]( [BFI]( [BFI Player]( [The Escape]( "Gemma Arterton superb in an intelligent drama" – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian The Escape Within this modest British drama sits an intense poetic soul, like a cloaked whirlwind. The ferocity of it is unexpected, and first expressed in sighs and small gestures by Tara (Gemma Arterton), for whom motherhood and material wealth mask deep misgivings. Her husband Mark (Dominic Cooper) is oblivious, so the storm grows stronger, until Tara dares to disturb her universe. While the subject may not be new, The Escape stands out by offering fully-fleshed characters with resonant feelings, interpreted by two actors who have never been better. They, and director Dominic Savage, merit a closer look. Watch now on desktop, Android, iOS devices & selected Samsung TVs.
