BEING JULIA
|
Being Julia is a delicious tale of amorous folly and revenge set in the world of the London stage in the late 1930s. Based on the novel Theatre by W. Somerset Maugham, it is the story of reigning stage diva Julia Lambert (Annette Bening), who falls head-over-heels in love with a young American. When she realizes that he is just a social climber whose real passion is ambitious starlet Avice Crichton, Julia begins to plot a delightful revenge. A Dangerous Liaisons set in the glittering world of London theatre, Being Julia is at once playful, sexy and viciously satisfying.
