The House Of Mirth
2000
Lily Bart, a well-bred but financially precarious woman in Gilded Age New York society, struggles to secure a wealthy marriage while refusing to compromise her principles, ultimately finding herself outcast and ruined. Terence Davies's adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel is a quiet, melancholic portrait of a woman destroyed by the society she belongs to.
