Description of Swept from The Sea:
Based on the Joseph Conrad story "Amy Foster," this swirlingly romantic melodrama tells the story of a Polish sailor (Vincent Perez) shipwrecked and washed ashore on the English coast in the 19th century. Found by a servant girl, Amy (Rachel Weisz), who is a village outcast, he is considered retarded because no one can understand what he says. But slowly, through Amy's love and the doctor's tutelage, the sailor learns enough English to decide he wants to make an honest woman out of Amy. Which doesn't sit well with the disapproving villagers, who don't like Amy. Even the doctor, who has a fondness for the sailor, has a blind spot when it comes to the servant girl. Strong performances and gritty period settings lift this film above bodice-ripper status to something richer. --Marshall Fine
Swept from The Sea Reviews:
Great movie 
2009-11-24 - I really enjoyed the movie, but I can honestly say that anyone looking for a happy, good feeling movie will probably be disappointed. Interesting story and does have "sort of" a happy ending after a lot of tortuous twists and turns.
Best Tearjerker ever
2009-11-05 - I love this movie. Great performances, loved the way it's told and if you need a good cry, trust me, it will happen.
Swept From The Sea
2009-04-26 - Grat film and very well fimed with extremely good perfomances from the all of the cast.
Fantastic! Buy this DVD if you love Romance!
2008-08-30 - This is a keeper! What a movie! Where was I when this movie came out? This is a great romance although it has a very sad ending.
This is a must see if you love romance and passion. I don't want to say too much because it's a complicated movie to discribe. It's intriguing.
Both the main actors are outstanding and you will feel their love and their pain.
You need to order this one right now ladies, just get it! You will not be disappointed!
Swept from the sea DVD 
2008-06-26 - It is a good scenario, a bit far fetched because the ship is a total disaster when reality dictates there should be a few survivors, but overall the story is an interesting study of humanity, especially at the end... enjoy, I did.....
