Written & Directed by Stephan Elliott [PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT]

Stephan Elliott, the Aussie filmmaker who brought such delightful flamboyance and forgiveness to the drag queens at the generous heart of "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", is back in action with EASY VIRTUE, a Noel Coward comedy of manners. The setting is the British countryside post-World War I, where old conventions are fighting off inevitable change. The Whittaker family is typical of the landed gentry of the '20s and '30s, which means trying to cover their uncomfortable new impoverished state with the occasional fox hunt, ladies' teas and the nightly formal dinner. Everything is fraying around the edges of this family. Headed by Kristin Scott Thomas, this tightly wound matriarch is betting the bank on son John's return, having long since given up on her war-damaged husband, played by Colin Firth. John sweeps back into the household, all dashing carefree charm, with a big surprise for mummy. The boy's come back married to an American. If that weren't crime enough, his bride is dangerously glamorous, drives race cars, smokes cigarettes and, from the looks of it, enjoys spending money. She is also not one bit afraid of the formidable Mrs. Whittaker. Throughout the film, it's anyone's guess who will win in the end. What is a given is that everyone will get bruised along the way. - LA Times
