Full Plot Details

We see the detritus of an abandoned camp in South America and a main character's hallucination. Then, the story begins. Tony (James Wilby) and Brenda Last (Dame Kristin Scott Thomas), lord and lady, live on his enormous estate with their young son. Tony's not much for parties, and Brenda joins London society, on the arm of a penniless man, John Beaver (Rupert Graves), a hanger-on at Tony's club. John is encouraged by his entrepreneurial mother, Mrs. Beaver (Dame Judi Dench), who sees a quid in Tony and Brenda. Brenda and John become lovers, Brenda spends more and more time in London, and Tony's without a clue. Then, bringing things to a head are tragedy, law suits, greed, and what should be a few-months' expedition to Brazil. We are each of us merely a handful of dust.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeHandsome, but airless and uninvolving version of the Waugh novel
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyHansomely mounted, Charles Sturridge's adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel places too much emphasis on atmosphere and decor and not enough on characterization.
User Review - 10/10 by Merethe RKanskje den beste av Ivorys produksjoner.
User Review - 8/10 by Anna BSad ending, makes you think, good acting, love the house, very Evelyn Waugh. Would like to read the book now.
User Review - 8/10 by Cheryl DAptly titled, it conveys the meaningless of lives built on an illusion that is crumbling before their eyes. Wonderfully acted, full of tragic humor. Sir Alec Guinness' sudden appearance at the end is wonderfully absurd and unforgettable.
User Review - 8/10 by Junie MTragic, scandalous and interesting. I love the 1930s atmosphere and high class drama.
User Review - 8/10 by Madeline MThis guy just can't get a break. KS Thomas is ~~~ ethereal ~~~ (does that sound pretentious enough?).
User Review - 6/10 by Danielle HBrilliant cast. A bit tedious at times. Over the top, "what the..?" ending that saves it nicely.
User Review - 6/10 by Abigail PGreat acting, interesting story, and a 1930s wardrobe to die for!
User Review - 6/10 by Helena Mreasonable movie, good performances, not too believable though.
