What happens
The Romantic Englishwoman (French: Une Anglaise romantique, lit. 'A Romantic Englishwoman') is a 1975 crime drama film directed by Joseph Losey and starring Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson, Helmut Berger, Michael Lonsdale, and Kate Nelligan in her feature-length screen debut. The screenplay was written by Tom Stoppard and Thomas Wiseman, based on the latter's 1971 novel. Caine plays a successful English novelist whose discontented wife, played by Jackson, decides to take a holiday to Germany in order to "find herself". There she meets a mysterious young man, played by Berger, in an elevator, which initiates an often bizarre, but extremely mature examination of desire, responsibility and the nature of love. A British and French co-production, the film was shown at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, but not entered into the main competition. It received generally positive reviews from critics.
