About this movie

Sexy leading man Rupert Everett (Shakespeare In Love, My Best Friend's Wedding) heads an acclaimed all-star cast in this wonderfully witty story of decadence, romance and scandal! Sir Robert (Jeremy Northam - Happy, Texas, Mimic), is a highly respected politician whose spotless reputation is the pride of his beautiful wife (Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth) and adoring sister (Minnie Driver - Good Will Hunting, Grosse Pointe Blank). But when an old acquaintance (Julianne Moore - Boogie Nights, The Lost World: Jurassic Park) threatens to reveal a dark secret from Robert's past, only his womanizing, party-loving best friend Goring (Everett) is scheming and dishonest enough to come to his aid! Overwhelmingly acclaimed by critics - you'll love this fresh, funny motion picture and its stellar ensemble as they elevate the art of blackmail to an elegant game of wit and passion!

Forget Downton Abbey, it pales by comparison to this masterpiece.
