Greys Inbetween

The creator, Andrew Rojan, has chosen to take an actor out of the bustle of London and show her unimaginable pain and longing. She has fallen for Duncan, a married man. Most of the film depicts her moving around London doing just ordinary things - walking along the street, taking a bus, visiting her old acting school - but all the time the insistant inner voice, going over and over her life, her pain, her shattering love affair. She visits the National Gallery and in those paintings we see her own violence and passion. A particularly memorable scene is where the insensitive director encourages Jane to present Lady MacBeth 'In your own accent' - here Jane acknowledges that she's never just hired to act, but also to 'be a black actor'. The climax is genuinely shocking as she finally presents herself at her married lover's home. He closes the piano in his study as though he's closing her possibilities for happiness. But Jane has a final shocking demonstration of her love to share with him...
