Mary (Natasha Richardson) and Colin (Rupert Everett) attempt to reinvigorate their flagging relationship with a romantic trip to Venice. Soon, though, they find themselves drawn into a complex web of deceit, passion, perversion and sexual intrigue, subtly spun by mysterious Robert (Christopher Walken) who resides nearby in palatial splendour with his wife Caroline (Helen Mirren). Adapted from Ian McEwan's haunting novel by famed playwright Harold Pinter, The Comfort of Strangers is chillingly directed by Paul Schrader, and will lead you on a shadowy, dreamlike journey towards the darkest realms of human experience.
