Waterland is a 1992 British-American mystery drama film directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal, and starring Jeremy Irons, Sinéad Cusack and Ethan Hawke. It is based on Graham Swift's 1983 novel of the same name. The film moved the contemporary location of the novel from England to Pittsburgh and eliminated many of the extensive historical asides.
