Unlived emotions take revenge ' She has a strange attitude towards sex. It's something special for her'
“That cold day in the park” adaptation of the novel of the same name by Peter Miles, where the action is transferred from Paris to Vancouver.
The main character - a wealthy lady of thirty-five, not burdened with family and work, spends her time in the circle of the same wealthy, but elderly people. Living alone has long been a habit for her. She gives lunches, attends respectable events and quietly begins to seem older. Hobbies in the form of classical music add her “decent” wardrobe and hairstyle, an extinct and immersed look.
But one day, during a regular reception with her elderly people, she notices a young man freezing in the street, looking as if he had nowhere to go. Waiting for a convenient hour and escorting the guests out, she goes out with an umbrella and calls him to the house to warm up. The guy, being not from the timid ten, agrees to go with a pretty lady, but to his trouble decides to play with her in silence, immediately becoming a kind of trigger for her, because nothing provokes fantasy like the unknown.
At first, the young man does not mind being a silent psychotherapist girlfriend in exchange for a hot meal and a bath, but over time the situation begins to heat up. All the unworked life scenarios of the heroine begin to project on him: he becomes everything for her: both a child and an object of passionate love. She feels alive again. There was a freshness of youth in her house. And she wants to stay with her forever.
The thriller is accompanied by topical thematic inserts related to the popularization of contraceptives and the emancipation of morals. Unfortunately, the film also has hollow spaces than many film adaptations sin. The constant feeling that something important was missed and not explained, and the characters had something to say, but they were not given a little can spoil the overall good impression of a smooth and stylish film.
