Savage House
Directed by Peter Glanz
Against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – Sir Chauncey Savage and Lady Savage blindly pursue a better life. It's not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed, filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Okay, so, Savage House... It's a strange film. Everything about it is great, but the film is... not great... It's like they were setting out to win Oscars in all the technical categories, but deliberately not get even a nomination for any of the big ones...
unlabelledView post →I've been to watch Savage House today at the Cambridge Picturehouse. Richard Grant and Claire Foy turn in great performances but probably not entirely a film to my taste. Seemed slightly patchy. You'll have to see it and make your own minds up!

unlabelledView post →"Sir Chauncey" (Richard E. Grant) has risen from the pigsty to the elevated world of the landed gentry thanks to a marriage with the impoverished but titled "Lady Savage" (Claire Foy). Having somehow obtained for himself a knighthood, and supported by his ever loyal factotum "Halifax" (Jack Farthing) he lives the life of a gentleman amidst their ever decaying country pile. Then there's a knock at the door. It's a message from the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. They are making their progress…
