A handful of dust 1988

Starring: James Wilby

An aristocratic wife, frustrated by the old-fashioned habits of her stately home-owning husband, begins an affair with a young man-about town.

More stiff upper lips than I care to mention. A lovely pace to a beautifully crafted and acted piece. Autumn colours, delightful location settings and costumes, this eases class. The story of infidelity , tragedy of a dying son and being held prisoner in Brazil almost come across as matter-of-fact as the whole thing is just so delightful. 8/10
