About this product

Product Information

Terence Davies (DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES) triumphs with his sumptuous, painterly adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel, which is set amid the vicious moneyed classes of 1905 New York and features a heartrending, perfectly nuanced performance by Gillian Anderson as doomed heroine Lily Bart. Lily, though strikingly beautiful and socially prominent, remains unmarried at the late age of 29. She jokes that marriage is a woman's vocation, but she is conflicted between her desire to marry a wealthy man and her love for handsome, elegant Lawrence Selden (Eric Stoltz), who, unforgivably, must work for a living. Lily's options begin to narrow, however, when her backstabbing friend, Bertha Dorset (Laura Linney), informs potential suitors of her gambling debts. In a world where the slightest hint of impropriety equals social death, Lily's self-professed genius in doing the wrong thing at the right time leads to trouble. A potential solution to Lily's downward social spiral arrives when a useful secret falls into her lap. In order to save herself, Lily must struggle with her naďveté, pride, and ineptitude at playing the elite's deadly, coded game. Davies's beautifully composed, richly textured images and Anderson's skillful evocation of quiet desperation make for a visually stunning, emotionally resonant tale.

    BEST MOVIE EVER! SNUBBED BY THE OSCARS!?!

    Gillian Anderson's performance in this Adaption of Edith Wharton's "House of Mirth" is nothing short of OUTSTANDING! The costumes, the supporting actors, the heartbreaking story blended together to make one of the best movies I've EVER seen. How it got snubbed at the Oscars in 2000 is a travesty! This little independent would have swept the awards if it had gotten any nominations!! A MUST SEE CLASSIC! My score on a 10 point scale - 11!!!

    A Social Butterfly Whose Wings Get Clipped

    House of Mirth, a film based on an Edith Wharton novel, charts the fall of a particular type of woman in turn of the twentieth century society, Lily Bart, who is a kind of professional hanger-on among the wealthy Eastern seaboard members of the social register--She herself has little money, her rich, but very rigid, aunt supports her--And when Lily gets into big trouble, her lack of skills, with which she might turn to making a living, shows how much of a kind of parasite she has been--"Parasite" being very harsh, and in LIly's case feels inappropriate, as she is, played by Gillian Anderson brilliantly, a charming, vivacious, independent-appearing (that "appearing" is important!) woman who trades on her potential eligibility for marriage to attract wealthy want to be suitors--Part of her ...

    Interesting plot but fails to deliver at the end.

    Very sad ending. That is why the 4 stars. Beautiful cinematography lavish interiors and wonderful performances. Engaging plot with a likable main character. I recommend it.

    The HOUSE of MIRTH

    This video is a favorite of mine. It's a period piece with an all-star cast and excellent acting. It delves into the personal lives of several individuals and reveals their ambitions, motives, and machinations to acquire their heart's desires. This is such an excellent video - I JUST LOVE IT.
