The latest, and most ambitious film from Jon Sanders (Back to the Garden, Painted Angels), A Change in the Weather takes a semi-improvised, organic approach to a story of a failing marriage and a creative partnership that fractures during a theatre workshop in the south of France. Anna Mottram is magnetic in the role of Lydia, the actor wife who gradually realises that her marriage to her playwright husband Dan (Bob Goody) is over. A tendency towards navel-gazing improvised dialogue is balanced by evocative use of music and a poignant supernatural subplot.
