The Beguiled
Innocent, until betrayed.
Directed by Sofia Coppola
Produced by American Zoetrope
A tense, claustrophobic period drama about desire and betrayal in a confined space, where civility masks dangerous rivalries and transgression.
During the Civil War, at a Southern girls’ boarding school, young women take in an injured enemy soldier. As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.
