Summary: Two brothers fall for the same woman but she chooses the younger brother. Rejected Luke, the eldest travels to Europe where he becomes a mercenary. Years later in New York, an elderly lady tells a man who tried to steal from her the story of her family...

DUST is a film that is epic in every way -- from its dashing leading man (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE's Joseph Fiennes) to its encompassing of different continents and centuries. Fiennes plays a young man named Elijah, who lives in the American West at the end of the 19th century. After he wins the heart of a woman that his older brother Luke is also enamored with, Luke (played by David Wenham) travels across the Atlantic and becomes a mercenary in Macedonia. DUST tracks the story of the two brothers for more than a century, ending in 20th century New York City.

Adapted from Evelyn Waugh's Jazz Age satire, A Handful of Dustis a brutal story of a failed marriage with shattering consquences. James Wilby stars as a country gentleman, Tony Last, who loves rattling around his expansive estate, Hetton Abbey.

Tony's wife, Brenda (Kristin Scott Thomas), however, pines for London's excitement and commences an affair in the city with penniless aristocrat John Beaver (Rupert Graves). The fallout of Brenda's betrayal includes a family tragedy and creative divorce settlement ultimately undone when fed-up Tony goes on a naturalist trek through Brazil and becomes the hostage of a mad, illiterate explorer (Alec Guinness). One might wonder whether it's more appropriate to laugh or tremble at these events, and director Charles Sturridge's handsome, graceful production ingeniously accommodates the story's streaks of dark comedy and horror. With brief, memorable supporting roles for Anjelica Huston and Stephen Fry.----Tom Keogh
