Killing Me Softly - 2002 ****


I was pleasantly surprised with this movie, based on the book by the brilliant Nicci French.

The story follows Alice, who lives in London and has a good job and lovely boyfriend. However after meeting a stranger in the street she embarks on a passionate affair with him, risking everything. Finding out that he was a mountain climber who had a tragic experience on an outing, she decides that she wants to leave her boyfriend and moves in with him, although actually she barely knows anything about his life or what sort of person he actually is.

The story itself sounds a little unlikely but actually I guess in real life it's perfectly plausible.

Anyway the acting is very good from both Graham and Fiennes and the ending is something you would never guess ( unless you had read the book!)
