Have you ever seen 'Brief Encounter' (1945)? A middle class, quiet and comfortable house wife meets a dashing man while waiting for a train and falls madly in love but chooses to return to her husband before anything physical can happen between them. It is the epitome of British restraint, sacrifice for the greater good. And it's a damn tragedy.
I imagine Deep Blue Sea, starring Tom Hiddleston and Rachel Weisz is an imagining of that story, only if the two lovers chose to be with each other instead of apart. Sure, it might be a little crusty. But what an idea....
