Brief Encounter (1945 - Public Domain - Colorized)
I did a colorized version of this film to make the comedy more accessible (there are a lot of funny scenes that become apparent when the film presents more naturally). Using black and white film stock, I think, made the film unnecessarily dour, and to my mind, hides the backdrop of a class-based society with comical habitual causal malice - that is based on perceived class. I also sorted out the uneven and dull audio.
Brief Encounter is a 1945 British romantic drama film directed by David Lean from a screenplay by Noël Coward, based on his 1936 one-act play Still Life.
Starring Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard, Stanley Holloway, and Joyce Carey, it follows a passionate extramarital affair in England shortly before World War II. The protagonist is Laura, a married woman with children, whose conventional life becomes increasingly complicated after a chance meeting at a railway station with a married stranger with whom she subsequently falls in love.
The film premiered in London on 13 November 1945, and was theatrically released on 25 November to widespread critical acclaim. It received three nominations at the 19th Academy Awards, Best Director, Best Actress (for Johnson), and Best Adapted Screenplay.
