  • Feast Of July
  • A compelling tale of passion's dark secrets -- critics applauded FEAST OF JULY as one of the best films of the year! A mysterious young beauty, Bella Ford, searches hopelessly for the lover who betrayed her. Weary and alone, she is offered shelter by the Wainwright family, who help her find new hope ... and whose three handsome sons battle for her affections! But just when she is ready to begin her new life, Bella's former lover unexpectedly reappears to haunt her with the secrets of their past! From Merchant Ivory Productions -- award-winning creators of HOWARDS END and THE REMAINS OF THE DAY -- you'll find this motion picture passionate and powerfully entertaining!

    an extraordinarily difficult to follow film, full of talky, dull melodrama and the glamorization of "proper" 19th century sensibilities
