On the big screen: Fifty Shades of Grey

Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson

When Anastasia Steele, a literature student, goes to interview the wealthy Christian Grey as a favour to her roommate, Kate Kavanagh, she encounters a beautiful, brilliant and intimidating man.

The innocent and naive Ana starts to realise she wants him and, despite his enigmatic reserve and advice, she finds herself desperate to get close to him.

Not able to resist Ana’s beauty and independent spirit, Christian admits he wants her, too, but on his own terms.

Ana hesitates as she discovers the singular tastes of Christian Grey — despite the embellishments of success, his multinational businesses, his vast wealth and his loving family, Grey is consumed by the need to control everything.
