About this product

Product Information

Set in late-1950s England, David Mackenzie's ASYLUM is a Gothic romance filled with erotic obsession, deception, and murder. Natasha Richardson gives a bravura performance as Stella Raphael, an unhappy woman who is forced to move with her son, Charlie (Gus Lewis), to rural Yorkshire when her husband, Max (Hugh Bonneville), earns a post as deputy superintendent of a psychiatric institution for the criminally insane. Among the patients there is Edgar Stark (Marton Csokas), a brooding sculptor who has been imprisoned for the brutal murder of his wife. When Stark gets a job working in the Raphaels' garden and conservatory, the attraction grows between Stella and him as Stark's doctor, Peter Cleave (Ian McKellen), Max's rival, watches closely, harbouring his own ulterior motives. When Edgar escapes, Stella must decide whether to remain in her sedate life in Yorkshire or go after the dangerous man she has fallen in love with. Based on Patrick McGrath's 1997 novel, ASYLUM examines the fine line between marriage and passion, between the confined and the confused, as art and beauty combine with deceit and betrayal to tell a powerful story that features excellent performances by Richardson, McKellen, and Csokas, as well as fine support from Joss Ackland and Judy Parfitt. Maria Aitken, who just happens to be the wife of author McGrath, plays Claudia Greene.

Movieline's Hollywood Life - Mackenzie is a skillful chronicler of mad love, and he gives this film a taut, pulsing energy., Uncut - The cast is excellent, as are some of the set-pieces, especially an eerie dream-like drowning sequence, Sight and Sound - Mackenzie and his screenwriter, Patrick Marber, have captured the essence of McGrath's novel and skillfully rethought it in cinematic terms.

  • Heavy going but brilliant

    Obsessive love portrayed excellently here in my oppinion. It's distressing to watch because it's frustrating seeing how main character (played fantastically by Natasha Richardson) is gradually losing any sense of reality. I really couldn't fault it but it's not for the feint hearted and don't let your kids near it - scenes really not appropriate for many reasons

  • A film which left me cold.

    Bit raunchy for me, also a sad story. Not for the faint-hearted. Started off well, then became a tangled story of lies, passion and psychological problems. I bought the video because I admired the actors involved, who did a good job. It was just the subject matter that was all wrong.It was a movie which did not have a 'feel good factor'.
