Chicago – Director Lone Scherfig has a rare delicate touch when it comes to portraying the subtlety of human relationships in films. After a triumph in 2009 directing Carey Mulligan in “An Education,” Scherfig returns with Anne Hathaway in the new film “One Day.”

Again, Lone Scherfig is a Danish director guiding an American actor (Hathaway) as a British character (she similarly worked that way with Peter Saarsgard in An Education). Both films feature women in transition having to do with relationships, but in One Day the story is as much about the male lead (Jim Sturgess) as Hathaway’s character.

The title One Day refers to July 15th, the designated day that Emma and Dexter (Hathaway and Sturgess) get together through the years from their college days to middle age. In that interim they experience many stages of their relationship, coming in and out of their coupling in various degrees of importance. »
