The House of Mirth
When a woman has the beauty men admire and women envy... it is wise to tread carefully.
Directed by Terence Davies
Produced by Granada Productions, Arts Council of England
A tragic portrait of a woman destroyed by the rigid social hierarchies and moral hypocrisy of Gilded Age New York, where beauty and charm prove powerless against systemic cruelty.
In early 20th century New York City, an impoverished socialite desperately seeks a suitable husband as she gradually finds herself betrayed by her friends and exiled from high society.
