Miss Julie
Saffrom Burrows (Deep Blue Sea) and Peter Mullan (Transpotting)
deliver "riveting performances" (Newsday) in this tale of desire, passion,
and betrayal that pits upper class against lower class in a "superbly staged
battle between the sexes" (Detour). With a script based on August
Strindberg's famous play and written for the screen by Helen Cooper, Miss Julie
director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas) presents a taut and intimate
story, "holding you with the intensity of his vision and his mastery of nuance"
(Los Angeles Times) from beginning to end.
On a late 19th-Century estate, a celebration of wine and beer lets loose
inhibitions... and inner passions. Jean (Mullan), 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, withoug her father's
money, is no more privileged than he?
