Miss Julie
1999, 97 minutes, Rated M
Saffron Burrows (from Troy) and Peter Mullian (from Trainspotting) deliver "riveting perforamces" in this tale of desire, passion and betrayal that pits uper class against lower class in a "uperbly staged battle between the sexes".
On a late 19th-Century estate, a celebration of wine and beer lets loose inhibitions... and inner passions. Jean (Mullian), the Count's footman, takes the advances of the Count's daughter (Burrows) too far with a scandalous encounter in the kitchen. And over one night, it becomes clear that these two lost souls desperately need each other in order to escape the confines - and trappings - of their lives. But can a servant support a noblewoman, who, without her father's money, is no more privileged than he?
Based on the famous stage play bu August Strindberg and directed by Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas), Miss Julie is a taut and intimate story of desire, passion and betrayal.
