Drama (Lord Warburton)

A very emotionally intense period drama, directed by Jane Campion. Set in 1872, the costumes are gorgeous and it’s a real visual treat.

The film narrates the story of a strong, graceful and naive young American, played by Nicole Kidman, who is unexpectedly given a fortune by an ailing cousin and decides to use it to experience the world. She is courted by three eligible suitors, but she spurns them and heads for Italy, where she meets the slimy and oppressive Gilbert Osmond (John Malkovich), who seduces her for her money. REG has a small, but very good part as Lord Warburton, one of her most ardent suitors.

Best REG line: You’re sacrificing your health to your curiosity.
