Product Information
This is a sumptuous and erotic drama where the insect world becomes a metaphor for the depravity and decadence of the upper class in this visually enticing period piece. Set at the height of British colonialism William, a penniless entomologist, falls in love with the eldest daughter of Sir Alabaster, an aristocrat who has offered the young man a position as his assistant. In spite of William's low social status and lack of funds, he and Eugenia are eventually married, and several children are born. One day, William discovers that his wife has a shocking secret, and his life will never be the same.<BR>Kristen Scott Thomas received the Best Actress accolade at the Evening Standard British Film Awards, and the film garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design.Product Identifiers

ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - "...[A] fabulously, weirdly dirty film..." -- Rating: B+, Rolling Stone - ...Philip Haas' erotic and haunting film of A.S. Byatt's novella is a discovery well worth making..., Los Angeles Times - ...ANGELS is an intriguing film with a great deal to recommend it....ANGELS is physically remarkable and well-acted, especially by the always impressive Kristin Scott Thomas..., Film Comment - ...ANGELS AND INSECTS meticulously elaborates images and scenes of striking beauty and crawly horror..., New York Times - ...Mesmerizingly bizarre....The tale weaves complex, unnerving parallels between human life and the more sinister mysteries of nature..., USA Today - "....Its colors are so vibrant and its costuming so original that both should be seen in theaters..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
