Miss Julie

2 hr. 9 min. | Drama | N/A

- Kai būdamas mažas berniukas, gulėdamas sode aš paslapčia žiūrėdavau, kaip vaikštote tarp rožių, žiūrėdavau į baltas Jūsų blauzdas, išgirskite mane, aš mąsčiau lygiai tą patį, ką ir bet kuris kitas berniukas mano vietoj.

A country estate in Ireland in the 1880s. Over the course of one midsummer night, in an atmosphere of wild revelry and loosened social constraints, Miss Julie and John, her father’s valet, dance and drink, charm and manipulate each other. She, all hauteur longing for abasement; he, polished but coarse – united in mutual loathing and attraction. By turns seductive and bullying, savage and tender, their intimacy leads to desperate plans and vision of a life together... Unsure if the morning brings hope or hopelessness, Julie and John find their escape in a final act as sublime and horrific as anything in Greek tragedy.
