Terence Davies’ The House of Mirth (25th Anniversary) is a tragic love story set against a background of wealth and social hypocrisy in turn of the century New York.

Lily Bart is a ravishing socialite at the height of her success who quickly discovers the precariousness of her position when her beauty and charm start attracting unwelcome interest and jealousy.

Torn between her heart and her head, Lily always seems to do the right thing at the wrong time.

She seeks a wealthy husband and in trying to conform to social expectations, she misses her chance for real love with Lawrence Selden.

 

‘This outstanding film shows how masterly is Terence Davies’s visual sense and what a light, adroit touch he has turned out to have with period detail’ – The Guardian ★★★★★
