The Line of Beauty Saul Dibb, UK, 2006 12:00pm

This enthralling drama about love, class, sex, and money is set in 1980s London, a ruthless decade marked by the return to power of the conservatives. The Line of Beauty charts the relationship between Nick Guest, a gay middle-class young man, and the Feddens, a rich Tory family from Notting Hill. We follow Nick’s journey as he becomes entranced by the powerful, privileged life led by the social elite - a life untouched by the stark realities of ‘80s: vast unemployment and the rise of AIDS. Amidst sexy love affairs, financial scandals, and political double crossing, Nick comes of age. This three-part BBC series, written by Andrew Davies (who adapted Tipping The Velvet for the screen), features stellar performances and a gripping story. Video, 180 min.
