Brief Encounter
Brief Encounter (1945), David Lean:
Having only seen his sprawing epics, it's a little jarring to see such a spare romance, dealing not with the profound depths and heights of human emotion but just the basicness of love between two people. Likewise, the setting is a normal English town, a train station and a living room, but the mundanity is really what makes it shine.
14/15
(There. I did it without using "lean")
