Miss Julie (Wide Screen)
Miss Julie (Wide Screen)
Stars: Saffron Burrows, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Heathcote Williams, Eileen WalshDirector: Mike Figgis
Summary: A servant and the Count's daughter become involved in a steamy encounter in the kitchen after a mid-summer night's festival on a nineteenth century estate. The following day the two realise that they have to get away to escape the lives in which they are both trapped. Can a mere servant and a noblewoman without her father's money survive in the outside world? Based on the play by August Strindberg.
Based on the one-act play by August Strindberg, MISS JULIE takes place during a midsummer festival in late-19th-century Sweden. The title character, played by Saffron Burrows, is the daughter of the the lord of the manor; bored, restless, and lonesome, she finds herself at the servants' party flirting with the footman, Jean (Peter Mullan). He has his own ambitions--dreams of a better life--and he and Julie soon find themselves playing more than just a game with one another. Each is trapped, by class and temperament, and is looking so desperately for a means of escape that they risk destroying each other in the process.
Director Mike Figgis is not afraid to let the film feel like a play--the dialogue gets its due and the characters stay in one room throughout--but the film is visually lush as well. Figgis experiments with fade-outs and split screens, the latter prefiguring his long experiment in TIME CODE. In fact, the camera spends most of its time focused tightly on Burrows, who, notwithstanding her offscreen romance with Figgis, gives a powerful performance to merit the attention.
