johnrbroomfield ...once married for several decades do not pine for your former lover.

Dianna M The story of 45 Years is so profoundly told by the interior lives of the characters. Rampling's facial expressions tell so much, yet at the end I could not determine if she would stay in the marriage or leave, as she simply could no longer live with the ghost of her husband's past love. Anyone else feel this way?

Even what's supposed to be peak suspension doesn't create much suspension (at least not for me, but other viewers apparently had a different impression).

SnoopyStyle Kate (Charlotte Rampling) is preparing her 45th anniversary party married to Geoff Mercer (Tom Courtenay). They live comfortably childless in rural England. Geoff reveals something about a previous relationship with Katya who died long ago hiking a glacier but the body was only recently discovered. Kate is a little perplexed and struggles to understand the true nature of their relationship.Charlotte Rampling is one of the greatest actresses around. I get the idea of an old couple with a secret. There isn't enough danger or drama for the tension to be truly raised. The major drama should occur after the big discovery. This is a quiet drama with buried emotions. I'm not complaining that nothing happens. It's just that the drama is interior and doesn't amount to that big. If you like quiet character study, this one is for you.
