When a young... Based on Kate O'Brien's novel "Mary Lavelle," this film provides a visually seductive tale of conflicting cultures and intense passions set to the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. When a young Irish woman promised to be married to a political activist escapes to Spain to avoid the marriage, she finds work as a governess for a wealthy Spanish family. However, she also finds intense attraction to a married man, also a political activist, involved in the revolution against Franco. This romantic symmetry leads her to self-discovery, and a resolution about the love she left in Ireland. [More]

  • Talk Of Angels
  • TALK OF ANGELS -- starring Polly Walker (ENCHANTED APRIL, EMMA), Vincent Perez (QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, I DREAMED OF AFRICA), and Academy Award(R)-winner Frances McDormand (FARGO, Best Actress, 1996; ALMOST FAMOUS) -- tells the powerful story of passion and forbidden desire set in a country boiling at the brink of civil war! A beautiful young Irish governess, Mary (Walker), leaves home and travels to Spain to work in the residence of a wealthy family strained by conflicting political allegiances. Swept away by her new surroundings while being threatened by the turmoil of the times, Mary eventually finds a different kind of danger: the inescapable attraction she shares with the fiery, handsome ... and married ... son (Perez) of her employer! In an unforgettable motion picture acclaimed by critics for its vivid storytelling and superb cast, Mary must ultimately face a difficult choice where following her heart means betraying a family she has grown to love!
