Description
Gillian Anderson stars in Terence Davies' celebrated adaptation of Edith Wharton’s classic novel.
New York at the beginning of the 20th century. Lily Bart (Gillian Anderson), a young woman looking to make a good marriage, finds herself drawn into a downward spiral when her honour and her love for Lawrence Selden (Eric Stoltz) prevent her from accepting the advances of wealthy banker Gus Trenor (Dan Aykroyd) and bring her into conflict with the social machinations of Bertha Dorset (Laura Linney).
Adapted from Edith Wharton's classic novel and written and directed by Terence Davies, The House of Mirth features an award-winning performance from Anderson and deserves to be regarded as one of the finest British features of its era.
This is the first time on Blu-ray for Davies’ acclaimed adaptation, newly remastered by BFI.
