"Elegant andihard-hitting." -Detour Magazine
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 based on 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 inner passions. 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 confines -- and trappings -- of their lives. But can a servant support a noblewoman, who, without her father's money, is no more privileged than he?

A wonderful movie by Mike Figgis - 3.25 out of 5 (7/21/2000)
First of all let me say that I really loved this film. I think it is a very clever and powerful interpretation of August Strindberg's play. It seems that the whole movie is shot with a hand camera which contributes to the claustrophobic atmosphere. The actors are fantastic and especially Saffron Burrows who delivers the best performance of her career. She's truly amazing in this film. Anyone who enjoys drama and Strindberg's plays will love this movie. It is almost like you're watching a real pl
