CGiii Comment

The story of the relationship between painter Dora Carrington and author Lytton Strachey - in a World War One England...of cottages and countryside...

An astonishing film about astonishing lives.

Hampton's writing does not disappoint - it is a luscious dialogue full of wit and passion.

His direction is rather understated which works well with the characters' intertwining stories.

A genuinely fine film with faultless central performances.

The(ir) Blurb...

The story of the relationship between painter Dora Carrington and author Lytton Strachey in a World War One England of cottages and countryside. Although platonic due to Strachey's homosexuality, the relationship was nevertheless a deep and complicated one. When Carrington did develop a more physical relationship with soldier Ralph Partridge, Strachey was able to welcome him as a friend, although Partridge remained somewhat uneasy, not so much with Strachey's sexual orientation as with the fact that he was a conscientious objector.
