Bikini Blue is a touching historical drama that is set in post-war Britain and tells the story of Dora, ( Lianne Harvey) an English nurse whose Polish husband Eryk (Tomasz Kot) is in a mental hosptal suffering from PTSD, and hiding guilty secrets.
Wrtten and directed by Jaroslaw Marszewski, Bikini Blue is beautifully shot and with a great score by Bartosz Chajdecki. Indeed, the look and mood of the film are reminiscent of a more understated Douglas Sirk or John M. Stahl’s Leave Her To Heaven. Harvey and Kot are both really good, and there are some very nice supporting roles, particularly Lee Ross’ turn as a quirky village policeman.
