Synopsis
Jonathen Rose. Camilla Masters. Oliver James. Three demonstrably intelligent people who have each said: ‘Where is the synopsis of the film? What are we going to get?’ We say back, is there to be no intrigue, no mystery in the world, no suspense? Must the pay-off always follow the set-up close coupled, like a pair of delayed buses?
OK, OK. Fair point. You win.
“Emma and Gerry are on a romantic city break/dirty weekend in Paris. Last stop on the tourist trail is the Pere Lachaise cemetery, where the illustrious dead lie round. He wants to see the grave of Jim Morrison. She wants to find the tomb of Oscar Wilde. Their Eurostar leaves in an hour and a half. It’s the end of their first trip away together. Will there be another one?”
