The Heart Of Me (2004)

"The Heart Of Me" is a period drama steeped in repressed longing and betrayal, set against the stiff manners of postwar England, where desire simmers just beneath the surface of propriety. Helena Bonham Carter anchors the film with the kind of raw, aching performance she's built a career on, playing a woman whose passions refuse to stay buried. The site carries 2 scenes from the film that capture her baring skin and vulnerability alike, moments where the emotional stakes turn distinctly physical. Fans of Bonham Carter's willingness to disappear into complicated, sensual roles will find plenty here worth revisiting.
