action

Ireland 1890: Miss Julie, a young noblewoman, lives with her father in a rural property in Fermanagh . On midsummer night she tries to seduce her father's house servant, John, in order to escape her everyday life as the daughter of a count and break up her life, which is dominated by social norms. She begins to explore the boundaries of class and wants to win over John against the fact that he is already engaged to Kathleen. In the absence of her father, a battle of the sexes and a psychological game for power, desire and seduction unfold.

criticism

The film service judges: “The film adaptation of August Strindberg's play of the same name is a classic adaptation without any new interpretive approaches and remains conventional and schematic in terms of film language. The main actress is impressed by the emotional tour de force, but overall the film lacks a new perspective on the subject. "
