Jude
A time without pity. A society without mercy. A love without equal.
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
Produced by Revolution Films, BBC
A bleak Victorian tragedy about thwarted ambition and doomed love, where social class and moral constraint systematically destroy a man's hopes.
In late 19th-century England, Jude aspires to be an academic, but is hobbled by his blue-collar background. Instead, he works as a stonemason and is trapped in an unloving marriage to a farmer's daughter named Arabella. But when his wife leaves him, Jude sees an opportunity to improve himself. He moves to the city and begins an affair with his married cousin, Sue, courting tragedy every step of the way.
