joe and claire be about to share a romantic picnic when a stricken hot air balloon drift into the field . with a young boy on board and petrify and and the pilot desperately try to anchor the balloon and joe and three other men rush to help . but it will end in disaster and bring into joe life and jed parry . it the start of something that threaten to spiral out of control . endure love be an adaptation { screenwriter joe penhall } of ian mcewan novel . it direct by roger michell and star daniel craig { joe } and rhys ifans { jed } and samantha morton { claire } . i think the first thing that should be note be that the film differs greatly from mcewan excellent page turner . tho the essence of the source and such a obsession and loneliness and to endure love and exist in the film and it do have a number of significant change . if they be for good or bad and . well that for others to decide should they enter both medium . endure love be a fascinating and if at time uneasy and view . one that be actually hard to sell to potential first time viewer . it struggle to find an audience at the box office on account of it complex theme and unwillingness to pander to the norm . and . it cold and very cold { something that be brilliantly enhance by haris zambarloukos photography } . so ultimately it a film that have no specific target audience and this in spite of some lazy observationists try to lump it in with the formulaic stalker genre . personally it take me three viewing and a deep delve into the dvd goody to finally understand and get the movie . so with that i would urge those who watch once and hat it to maybe try again . for film of this type do not come around that often and and when they do it feel like a breath of fresh air . even if that breath be taint with a chill bring about by the human condition and all it intricate possibility . positive .
