I have seen this movie only once, about 20 years ago, on television and ever since, it has struck a chord with me. The very recollection of the film brings me to tears. An extremely well directed film, and equally good performances by Imogen Stubbs and James Wilby. The film scored very high in other departments as well, photography, music, direction and what not. My only regret is that I have not been able to see it again, as it is not available on VCD, nor has been telecast (to my knowledge) in my country again. I only wish I could have this film on VCD so that I could see it whenever I wish. I would strongly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys good cinema. The film has a sad end, but that is how it should be. I understand that short story (Apple Tree) on which this film is based, had a different end. Surely, it could not have been better.
