Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons plays Tom Crick, a high school history teacher who is having trouble connecting- with his class and his wife. Faced with the sack from his boss (John Heard), Tom begins to interrupt his classes with a series of extraordinary stories about his upbringing in the English Fens. However, one student (Ethan Hawke, Training day, Dead poets society) proves to be more of a challenge, pushing Tom to make revelations about his past which still have a haunting grip on his life, threatening to consume all around him. Avaible for the first time on dvd, Waterland is directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (father of Jake Gyllenhaal and of Maggie, who also stars in this film) and based on the award winning novel of the same name by Graham Swift. Featuring an incredible supporting cast including Sinéad Cusack (V for vendetta), Lena Headey (The brothers Grimm), David Morrissey (Basic instinct 2), and Pete Postlethwaite (The usual suspects) the film is also beautifully photographed by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Robert Elswit (Good night and good luck, Syriana, Magnolia)
