An Ideal Husbandￂﾠ-ￂﾠSet in England in the late 1800s, this acerbic filming of Oscar Wildes farce features Rupert Everett as the idle, witty Lord Goring. Can he save his best friend--"ideal husband" and Parliament member Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam)--from scandal at the hands of the sneaky and conniving Mrs. Laura Cheveley (Julianne Moore)? And just what does Mrs. Cheveley have in store for Goring himself? Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver also star. (93 minutes)
Tom Jones -ￂﾠDirector Tony Richardson and scripter John Osborne's sprawling, bawdy romp through 18th-century England earned four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Albert Finney stars as the titular hero, a charming country boy whose beguiling manner gets him into one hilarious romantic misadventure after another; based on the novel by Henry Fielding. With Susannah York, Hugh Griffith, David Warner, and Edith Evans. (123 minutes)
A Passage to India -ￂﾠDavid Lean returned to filmmaking after a 14-year absence to direct this award-winning adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel. Adela Quested (Judy Davis), a young and spirited Englishwoman, travels to India alongside the somewhat older Mrs. Moore (Peggy Ashcroft). Mrs. Moore's hope is that her son, an administrator in the British Raj, and Adela will wed. Once in India, the two women pay scant heed to the customs followed by English society. They even agree to accompany a "native" - the charming and educated Dr. Aziz (Victor Banerjee) - on a tour of the mystical, ancient Marabar Caves. But their innocent outing turns ugly when Adela emerges from the cave's darkness accusing Aziz of rape. British authorities eagerly pursue - even pressure - Adela to go to court. The truth, however, is not as clear as the bigoted colonial government believes it is. (157 minutes)
