Its been a long time since I have seen this film and Richardson's breakdown over the death of her son due to her betraying husband is the main thing I remember about it and have never forgotten it.
Richardson is superb, in a very difficult scene to pull off and she does it remarkably well. This is wow acting and she makes her grief raw, exposed and organic….
"The pain was unbearable, so I was beating myself."
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

And your point is?
The breeder may be lowly, but they still have feelings…

No. I guess I should and it's here, so no excuse not to.
