Set in contemporary London, Cassandra’s Dream is a powerful and thrilling story about two brothers who are desperate to better their troubled lives. One is a chronic gambler in debt over his head, and the other is a young man in love with a beautiful actress (newcomer Hayley Atwell, soon to be seen in Brideshead Revisited) he has recently met. Their lives gradually become entangled into a sinister situation with intense and unfortunate results. Written and directed by Woody Allen, the film also stars Tom Wilkinson and Sally Hawkins (Happy Go Lucky), with a score by Philip Glass.
