Miss Julie (1999)

Synopsis: A young woman of the aristocracy, coming from a relationship gone sour, develops an atraction towards one of her servants.
Appraisal: Based on a 1888 play by August Strindberg, and brilliantly filmed to maximum cinematic effect. The text itself is somewhat dated and not exactly my cup of tea. Mullan's performance is stupendous; the whole cast is fine, I think.
Rating: 69
