Breaking and Entering (DVD)

This contemporary romantic drama – with Jude Law, Juliette Binoche and Robin Wright Penn – is most applicable to today’s lifestyle of busy busy busy…with little time left to develop a meaningful relationship. Will Francis (Jude Law) is a landscape artist who lives a humdrum life in London with his longstanding Swedish girlfriend Liv (Robin Wright Penn), and her peculiar young daughter Bea (Poppy Rogers).

His office premises are repeatedly being burgled, and on one occasion he almost catches a teenage burglar (Rufi Gavron) in the act. He does, however, manage to discreetly follow the lad to his home. There he encounters the boy’s Bosnian mother, Amira (Juliette Binoche), who works as a seamstress. One thing leads to another…and Will starts an affair with her.

Competently made all round, the acting performances are completely convincing – with Robin Wright Penn particularly well cast, and maximizing her role as a Scandinavian.

Class-based drama directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Jude Law. Will Francis (Law) is a young London architect living a stable, if dreary existence with his girlfriend Liv (Robin Wright Penn) and her behaviourally challenged daughter Bea. When his posh, arty offices are repeatedly burgled, he plays detective hoping to nab the thief. Spotting a teenager (Rafi Gavron) attempting to break in, Will attempts to follow him. It's hard, not least because the youngster is a practitioner of the art of parkour - a mysterious urban tactic of running and jumping between buildings, over obstacles etc. The pursuit leads Will to the mysterious Amira (Juliette Binoche), a seamstress with whom he becomes involved, causing him to re-evaluate his life. Conflict arises when the police close in on the burglars, and Will must make a crucial choice which will affect the lives of everyone around him.
