“He” (played by Alan Rickman) is an obscure book editor in London. After a painful failure in his writing career, he can only write poetry in his spare time, while despising his mundane job and regretting a past failed romance, gradually sinking into a disheartened middle age. “She” (played by Emma Thompson) is “his” old flame, who married a highly renowned writer after leaving him and now leads a glamorous life in Paris. Fifteen years later, the two meet again for lunch at a restaurant they used to frequent. With high hopes, “he” discovers that the restaurant has completely changed, and all the familiar sights are gone. “She” remains beautiful but lacks the appearance he remembers, the food is the same, but the conversation is unsatisfactory. Is all of this just a fantasy of his poetic obsession, or has he truly been abandoned along with everything that has aged? This film is adapted from the narrative poem of the same name by Christopher Reid, who won the Costa Book Awards for “Book of the Year” in 2010 for this poem.
