Flames of Passion

Institute History

  • 1992 Sundance Film Festival

Description

This pocket-sized reworking of Brief Encounter evokes the melodramatic tradition of the original with its high-contrast black-and-white cinematography, emotional score, and steam-filled railway-station setting, but drastically alters everything else in the way that would have pleased Noel Coward’s unconscious. Aimed fairly and squarely at the heart, Flames of Passion broadens the meaning of the word “awayday.”

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
