Following on from John Jencks’ absorbing drama The Fold, comes another low-budget British production studying grief in a quite fascinating manner, as debutant Stephen Brown’s The Sea provides an insight into one man’s suffering with the loss of his wife, and how he revisits an old tragedy to help himself get over a new one. The death itself, however, is merely a catalyst for him to explore a range of other emotions, and to trigger a series of old memories.
The man in question is Max Morden (Ciarán Hinds), who decides to head back to the beachside resort where he spent his summers as a child, staying with Miss Vavasour (Charlotte Rampling), in the very same house he used to play in. His reason for returning is the death of his wife Anna (Sinéad Cusack), though while searching for serenity and peace of mind, his trip brings up a host of painful memories,...

Having risen to prominence as the child star of The Golden Compass, young British actress Dakota Blue Richards has made a series of commendable acting choices ever since, epitomised greatly in her appearance in John Jencks’ poignant and unique drama, The Fold.
We had the pleasure of speaking to Richards about her role in the film, and what attracted her to the project. She speaks about the rarity in finding projects with such strong female leads, working alongside Catherine McCormack, and explains how she’s managed to stay so grounded – and clear of the limelight, avoiding the potential issues that come with starting out in the industry at such a young age.
The Fold offers such a fascinating look into grief, and I was wondering what it was about this film that drew you in to the project?
There were a few things. Firstly the story is beautiful, it’s...

The theme of grief is one frequently explored in cinema, though commonly with somewhat cliched, banal repercussions, as a subject we’ve often seen dealt with a detrimental indelicacy. However in John Jencks’ debut feature The Fold, we scrutinise over the notion with intrigue, acutely studying how people can react to such anguish, in what proves to be a contemplative, thought-provoking drama that is bound to stick with you.
Following the untimely death of her daughter, Anglican priest Rebecca Ashton (Catherine McCormack) leaves the city for a less demanding life in the country, where she forms a peculiar, somewhat contentious relationship with the troubled teenage immigrant Radka (Marina Stoimenova). The closer the pair become the more questions are asked from the concerned locals, as it becomes increasingly clear than Rebecca is vying to fill a void left in her life by her deceased child, intent on replacing her, despite having...
