Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea) and Peter Mullan
(Trainspotting) deliver riveting performances
(Newsday) in this tale of desire, passion and
betrayal that pits upper class against lower class
in a 'superbly staged battle between the sexes
(Detour). With a script basedon August
Strindberg's famous play and written for the
screen by Helen Cooper, Miss Julie director Mike
Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas) presents a taut and
intimate story, holding you with the intensity of
his vision and his mastery of nuance (Los Angeles
Times) from beginning to end. On a late 19th-
century estate, a celebration of wine and beer
lets loose inhibitions and innerpassions. Jean
(Mullan), the Count's footman, takes the advances
of the Count's daughter (Burrows) too far with a
scandalous encounter in the kitchen. And over one
night, it becomes clear that these two lost souls
desperately need each other in order to escape the
confinesand trappingsof their lives. But can a
servant support a noblewoman, who, without her
father's money, is no more privileged than he?
