About Drowning in the Shallow End
Nothing seems to go right for Colin, no matter how he tries. No one is offering him writing work, and his marriage is disintegrating. Why can't he be smooth and confident as he imagines other men to be?
Directed by Colin Gregg, Drowning in the Shallow End leans on a strong ensemble — Paul McGann, Phoebe Nicholls, Adrian Dunbar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1990.
