Based on the novel by Julian Barnes, Metroland tells the story of Chris (Bale), a young man in 1970s London who comes to question his domestic life and values when an old free-spirited friend, Toni, turns up unexpectedly. Spending time with Toni calls up all sorts of old memories of Chris' more carefree days in the 60s, including a collegiate spell in Paris where he had an affair with a young French woman (shown in extended flashback). All of this makes him question whether he has chosen too safe a path by settling down in the suburbs with his wife Marion (Watson). [More]
