\"Atonement<\/a>This week we examine Atonement<\/strong><\/a>, the adaptation of Ian McEwan’s bestselling novel<\/a> about love, loss and guilt during World War 2.<\/p>\n

When a young girl named Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan<\/a>) misunderstands the relationship between her elder sister Cecilia (Kiera Knightley<\/a>) and her lover Robbie (James McAvoy<\/a>) she sets in motion a devastating sequence of events for all three characters.<\/p>\n

As the story moves from the hot summer of 1935, through to the evacuation of Dunkirk<\/a> and eventually to 1999 we see how a simple lie reverberates over many years.<\/p>\n

Director Joe Wright follows up 2005’s Pride and Prejudice<\/a> with this highly accomplished adaptation that also stars Romola Garai<\/a> and Vanessa Redgrave<\/a>. The film recently opened the Venice Film Festival<\/a> and looks like it will be a contender in the upcoming awards season.<\/p>\n

We also take a look at the new Simon Pegg<\/a> comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run<\/strong><\/a> which co-stars Thandie Newton<\/a> and was directed by David Schwimmer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
