Miss Julie

In this Royal Shakespeare Company production of August Strindberg's classic play, Academy Award Winner Helen Mirren gives an acclaimed performance as the bored and restless daughter of a Count who finds herself getting involved with the arrogant and forceful Jean (Donal McCann), her father's footman. After a flirtatious encounter at the servants' Midsummer party, both Julie and Jean see each other as a means of escape from the trappings of their lives. Together they plan their getaway, but it is an alliance which can only end in tragedy. With a typically show-stealing performance, Mirren is at her very best in this early role that set her on the road to stardom.

  Good theatre but poorly filmed

  Stagey but good
  
  You can tell that these actors had appeared in the stage production of this famous play before the film. It was little more than a filmed play. The use of the ... read more »

  Helen Mirren shows screen presence
  
  Allowing for the year and format this was filmed in this is a chance to see Helen Mirren at the near start of a productive career. Her screen presence is ... read more »
