Master director David Lean’s reputation undoubtedly consists mostly of his brilliance with his legend panoramas, such as the classics THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, and A PASSAGE TO INDIA. Of course those who gawk closely in these films will peruse that Lean chose only the best actors to flesh out true, just characters caught in the midst of overwhelming events–witness Peter O’Toole’s quick-witted characterization of T. E. Lawrence and Peggy Ashcroft’s handsome, indelible Mrs Moore from A PASSAGE TO INDIA. With BRIEF ENCOUNTER, the actors are everything, too.
The epic is simple–in a very dark, post-WWII London, two married people meet by chance at a (fair) recount area and originate a friendship which slips lickety-split into esteem. The depth of their feelings is never in inquire, as Trevor Howard and the luminous Celia Johnson relate these feelings honestly and without pretense, clutter, or the manneredness of novel depicitions of cherish. Whether the characters will be adulterers or not is famous to them; they have principles and do truly care for their existing families. Again, they are two ordinary adults in the midst of something overwhelming; how they handle the status is what gives them grace and dignity. The exhaust of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto no. 2 in C minor, especially the adagio share, was a stroke of genius. One cannot hear the allotment ever again without imagining a high-tail streaming from Miss Johnson’s enormous, soulful blue eyes. Fans of romance, classic cinema, or simply substantial acting should not miss this experience. The DVD transfer is satisfactory and Criterion should be applauded again for restoring a valuable classic to fresh audiences.
I objective read the review of this DVD on dvdmg.com and can only attain the reviewer is relatively young, and certainly not married — not for any length of time, anyway. He says, “I could savor parts of the film, and I could respect the craftsmanship, but I never could construct any exact interest in the storyline or the characters.”
Oh my goodness, I couldn’t disagree more. After intentionally waiting to gawk “Brief Encounter” for many years, I’ve finally watched it. I’m a married father in my mid-40’s.

The incredibly profound affection that Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson allege for each other is the most convincing portrayal I have ever seen of two people in care for. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have a long method to go to explain such feelings, so powerfully. Yet the performances are, in lawful British fashion, reserved.
Frankly, I found its emotionalism so effective, it very nearly brought me to tears. Call it a chick flick if you like, but this is a film for every thinking adult who has ever been conflicted over their affections and devotions. I’m looking forward to watching it again — this time with my wife!
