A lonely young aristocrat in turn-of the century England struggles to meet the approval of his over-bearing, class-conscious father while trying to please the selfish woman he loves.
Costume
Leto's waistcoats deserve their own billing.
Acting
Derek Jacobi elevating every scene he breathes in.
Director
Radha Bharadwaj
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Radha Bharadwaj adapted this from a Wilkie Collins novel and basically had to crowdfund theatrical distribution herself after studios passed. Woman director energy: immaculate.
This came out the same year as Leto's My So-Called Life peak and Slater's hard pivot to weird indie choices—making their pairing feel like a 90s alt-heartthrob summit nobody asked for but history delivered.
