Plot
In 1935, Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan), a 13-year-old girl from a wealthy English family and the youngest of three, has just finished writing a play. As Briony attempts to stage the play with her cousins, they become frustrated and decide to go swimming. Briony stays behind and witnesses a significant moment of sexual tension between her older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy) a man Briony had an unrequited childish crush on. Robbie returns home and writes several drafts of letters to Cecilia, including one, explicit and erotically-charged. He does not, however, intend to send it and sets it aside. On his way to join the Tallis family celebration, Robbie asks Briony to deliver his letter, only to later realise that he has mistakenly given her the prurient one. Briony secretly reads the letter and becomes still more suspicious of Robbie's intentions.
That evening, Cecilia and Robbie meet in the library, where they spontaneously make love and profess their love for each other. During, Briony walks in on the couple and mistakenly believes that Robbie is indecently assaulting her sister. Briony goes off alone into the woods and stumbles upon a man running away from apparently raping Lola, who was approximately 14 or 15 at the time of the crime. Lola claims that she does not know the identity of her attacker, but Briony is certain that it was Robbie, and tells everyone this, including the police, claiming she saw Robbie commit the act. She shows the shocking letter to her mother. Everyone believes her story – except for Cecilia. Robbie is arrested and sent to prison.
Four years later, in 1939, Robbie is reunited with Cecilia in London, where they renew their love. Briony (Romola Garai), now eighteen, has joined Cecilia's old nursing corps at St. Thomas's in London. Her attempts at contacting her sister go unanswered: Cecilia has refused contact, blaming her for Robbie's imprisonment. Later, the wounded and very ill Robbie finally arrives at the beaches of Dunkirk, where he waits to be evacuated.
Briony, now 18 and fully understanding the impact of her accusation later visits Cecilia to apologize to her directly. Robbie, who was with Cecilia, in a rage that almost becomes physical, confronts Briony and demands that she immediately tell her family and the authorities the truth. Briony reveals that the rapist was actually Paul Marshall, who was an adult at the time of the rape, and that he cannot be implicated in a court of law due to Lola, by then about 20 years old, now being his wife.
Decades later, an elderly Briony (Vanessa Redgrave) reveals in an interview that she is dying of vascular dementia, and that her novel, Atonement, which she has been working on for most of her adult life, will be her last. In a sudden plot twist, Briony reveals that Robbie actually died at Dunkirk of septicemia while awaiting evacuation, and that Cecilia died a few months later as one of the sixty-five flood victims in the Balham tube station of the London Underground during The Blitz. In real life, on October 14, 1940, the street above the tube was hit by a bomb. A bus then drove into the hole, rupturing water pipes. The water and debris from these pipes gushed into the underground, where civilians went to seek shelter from air raids. Briony hopes that, by reuniting them in fiction, she can give them the happy conclusion to their lives that they have always deserved, Briony's atonement.
Cast
- Keira Knightley as Cecilia Tallis, the elder of the two Tallis sisters.[4] Originally intended to play 18-year-old Briony, Knightley was the first reported to have landed one of the starring roles in Atonement, having previously worked with Wright on the cinema adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice (2005).[5] With the director and Knightley unable to agree over which character the actress should play, Wright finally decided on Cecilia "because she has none of that Elizabeth Bennet vibe."[5] In preparing for her role, Knightley watched films from the 1930s and 1940s, such as Brief Encounter and In Which We Serve, to study the "naturalism" of the performance that Wright wanted in Atonement.[4]
- James McAvoy as Robbie Turner, son of the Tallis family housekeeper with a Cambridge education courtesy of his mother's employer. Having refused previous offers to work with Wright, McAvoy was the director's first choice: producers met several actors for the role, including Jake Gyllenhaal,[6] but McAvoy was the only one offered the part. He fitted Wright's bid for someone who "had the acting ability to take the audience with him on his personal and physical journey". The actor describes Robbie as one of the most difficult characters he has ever played, "because he's very straight-ahead".[4]
- Saoirse Ronan as Briony Tallis (age 13), the younger Tallis sister and an aspiring novelist. Twelve-year-old newcomer Ronan was not cast until casting director Jina Jay came across her following many unsuccessful auditions around Britain. McEwan called her performance "remarkable": "She gives us thought processes right on-screen, even before she speaks, and conveys so much with her eyes."[4] Ronan received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.
- Romola Garai as Briony Tallis (age 18):[4] Following Abbie Cornish's refusal, backing out due to scheduling conflicts with Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007),[7] she was obliged to adapt her performance's physicality to fit the Briony appearance that had already been decided upon for Ronan and Redgrave. She spent much time with Ronan, watching footage of her to approximate the way the younger actress moved.[4]
- Vanessa Redgrave as Briony Tallis (age 77): Everyone's ideal to play the oldest Briony,[4] Redgrave was the first approached (although she was not cast until Ronan had been found),[8] and committed herself to the role after just one meeting with Wright. She, Ronan and Garai worked together with a voice coach to keep the character's timbre in a familiar range throughout the film.[4]
- Harriet Walter as Emily Tallis, the matriarch of the family. Both Emily Watson[9] and Kristin Scott Thomas[9] were approached to play the role of Emily Tallis before the role went to Walter.
- Patrick Kennedy as Leon Tallis, the eldest of the Tallis siblings.
- Brenda Blethyn as Grace Turner, Robbie's mother and the Tallis family housekeeper.
- Juno Temple as Lola Quincey, the visiting 15-year-old cousin of the Tallis siblings.
- Charlie and Felix von Simson as Jackson and Pierrot Quincey, Lola's nine-year-old twin brothers.
- Benedict Cumberbatch as Paul Marshall, a visiting friend of Leon Tallis and chocolate manufacturer millionaire.
- Daniel Mays as Tommy Nettle, one of Robbie's brothers-in-arms.
- Nonso Anozie as Frank Mace, another fellow soldier.
- Jérémie Renier as Luc Cornet, the fatally wounded and brain-damaged French soldier whom the eighteen-year-old Briony comforts on his death bed.
- Anthony Minghella as the Interviewer. Minghella was an award-winning director and screenwriter. He died suddenly on the same day Atonement was released on DVD.
Production
The film was produced by Working Title Films and filmed throughout the summer of 2006 in Great Britain and France.[1]
Locations
Locations for the filming included the seafront in Redcar;[10] Streatham Hill, South London (standing in for Balham, Cecilia's new home after becoming estranged from her family); Stokesay Court near Craven Arms;[11] and Grimsby.[12]
All the exteriors and interiors of the Tallis family home were filmed at Stokesay Court, Onibury, Shropshire, a location found in the pages of an old copy of Country Life magazine.[13] This Victorian mansion was built in 1889 by the glove manufacturer John Derby-Allcroft and is still privately owned.[14] London locations included Great Scotland Yard and Bethnal Green Town Hall, the latter being used for a 1939 tea-house scene, as well as St John's, Smith Square, Westminster, which served as location for Lola's wedding. The scenes from the 1940 Balham station were filmed in the former Piccadilly Line station of Aldwych, which was closed in the 1990s. Parts of the St Thomas's hospital ward interior and corridors were filmed at Park Place, Henley-on-Thames; the exterior of the hospital actually being University College London.[4]
While the third portion of Atonement was entirely filmed at the BBC Television Centre in Wood Lane, the beach and cliff scene first shown on the postcard and later seen towards the end of the film were filmed at the Seven Sisters, Sussex, more precisely at Cuckmere Haven which is incidentally quite near to Roedean School, which Cecilia was said to have attended. Scenes in the French countryside were filmed in Coates and Gedney Drove End, Lincolnshire; Walpole St Andrew and Denver, Norfolk; and in Manea and Pymore, in Cambridgeshire. The scenes shot in Redcar include a remarkably lengthy tracking shot of the seafront as a war-torn Dunkirk and a scene in the local cinema on the promenade.[4]
Another location used in the making of the film was the Lincolnshire town of Grimsby. The Dunkirk street scenes used in the film were shot at the Grimsby ice factory on Grimsby docks. Both the interior and exterior are present in the film, trailers, and the deleted scenes on DVD.
Release
The film opened the 2007 Venice International Film Festival, making Wright, at 35, the youngest director ever to be so honoured.[15] The film also opened the 2007 Vancouver International Film Festival.[16] Atonement was released in the United Kingdom and Ireland on 7 September 2007,[17] and in North America on 7 December 2007. Worldwide distribution was managed by Universal Studios, with minor releases through other divisions.[1]
Reception
Critical reception
The film has received positive reviews from American and international film critics. As of 18 January 2008, the review site Rotten Tomatoes records that 83% of 196 critics gave the film positive reviews, with a consensus that "Atonement features strong performances, brilliant cinematography, and a unique score. Featuring deft performances from James McAvoy and Keira Knightley, it's a successful adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel."[18] On other review sites, Metacritic records an average score of 85%, based on 36 reviews.[19]
The American critic Roger Ebert gave it a four-star review, dubbing it "one of the year's best films, a certain best picture nominee."[20] In the movie review television program, At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper, Richard Roeper gave the film "thumbs up" adding that Knightley gave "one of her best performances". As for the film, he commented that: "Atonement has hints of greatness but it falls just short of Oscar contention."
In Britain, the film was listed as number 3 on Empire Magazine's top 25 films of 2007. The Australian edition of Empire gave it a five-star review, praising the intelligent directing by Wright in the second half of the film, where he demonstrates "storytelling and technical flair to match his ability with actors".[21] Time magazine's Richard Corliss named the film one of the Top 10 Movies of 2007, ranking it at number four. Corliss praised the film as "first beguiling, then devastating", and singled out Saoirse Ronan as "terrific as the confused 12-year-old."[22][23]
The film has received numerous awards and nominations, including 7 Golden Globe nominations, more than any other film nominated for the 65th Golden Globe Awards,[24][25] and winning two of the nominated Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture Drama. The film also received fourteen BAFTA nominations for the 61st British Academy Film Awards including Best Film, Best British Film and Best Director, seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and the Evening Standard British Film Award for Technical Achievement in Cinematography, Production Design and Costume Design, earned by Seamus McGarvey, Sarah Greenwood and Jacqueline Durran, respectively. Atonement also ranks 442nd on Empire magazine's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time.[26]
A censored and dubbed version of Atonement was shown to an extremely limited audience in North Korea at the Pyongyang International Film Festival in 2008. The Los Angeles Times reported that "Screenings of two British films, "Atonement" and "Elizabeth I: The Golden Age," were so crowded that guards had to bar the doors to prevent gate-crashers."[27]
