From the director of 2009's Best Film, Lone Scherfig, One Day gives us the story of the twenty-year love affair of two people who don't know what they're looking for.
Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess star in a quirky dramedy based on David Nicholls' novel of the same name. A couple of young people find themselves thrown together, and then we follow them through the July 15ths of their lives, and as the ups and downs of life play out, the pair begin to realize just what they have, and what they don't.
Check out more info and the trailer below, and make sure this one doesn't slip past you this August.
Twenty years…two people. Directed by Lone Scherfig (director of “An Education,” Academy Award-nominated for Best Picture), the motion picture “One Day” is adapted for the screen by David Nicholls from his beloved bestselling novel One Day. After one day together – July 15th, 1988, their college graduation – Emma Morley (Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway) and Dexter Mayhew (Jim Sturgess of “Across the Universe”) begin a friendship that will last a lifetime.
She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground. For the next two decades, key moments of their relationship are experienced over several July 15ths in their lives. Together and apart, we see Dex and Em through their friendship and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along. As the true meaning of that one day back in 1988 is revealed, they come to terms with the nature of love and life itself.
