B+

Belinda and Philip Haas' fabulously, maturely, weirdly dirty film (based on A.S. Byatt's novella Morpho Eugenia) about life among a family of well-to-do country folk in Victorian England has all the opulence of a Martha Stewart garden party and all the sexual perversity of a Havelock Ellis case study. Starring Mark Rylance as a bug scholar, Patsy Kensit as his mysterious, golden butterfly of a wife, and the elegantly self-contained Kristin Scott Thomas as a poor, drab, industrious moth of a family relation.
