About this product

Product Information

As she enters her early 40s, London theater actress Julia Lambert (Annette Bening) starts having a nervous breakdown. She still rules the West End, but is growing too old for ingenue parts. When Tom Fennell (Shaun Evans), an adoring lad half her age, comes into her life, a clandestine affair begins. Though she's happy for a while, Julia eventually winds up in a face-off with a Tom's other, much younger lover (Lucy Punch). Luckily, the spirit of Julia's cantankerous old acting coach (London theater legend Michael Gambon) follows Julia around offering some tough-love encouragement.Set in the late 1930s, this is a fine costume comedy-drama about the sorrows and joys of art. The eternal question of "when am I acting and when am I myself?" has seldom been addressed as intelligently as it is here; Bening seems to be not only tangling with her own status as an aging beauty, but also with the limits of her own acting abilities, and it's a pleasure to see her transcend both with such triumphant exuberance. Bravo, Miss Bening, and kudos to director Szabó (MEPHISTO) for rendering his obvious love of theater, cinema, and actors with such contagious warmth. Other fine performances include Jeremy Irons as Julia's manager/husband and Juliet Stevens as her jaded maid.

Being Julia
"Being Julia" is more than delightful -- it is a delicious account of a beautiful actress circa 1938 London. We feel as if we are looking through a magical telescope into those days before the earthrattling events of World War Two, when the days were sunny and people were laughing and could live life. Especially theater life! Lived by the actors who live on life -- this is a view of one group of actors, with their joys and hopes, who move about their lives on and off stage in London before it was crashe by German bombs. You will love the film if you love life! You will love the music as much as the film -- Mychael Danna is a genious at musical composition. N. Battaglia

An vert interesting movie to watch and enjoy.
I was wondering how Julia would defeat the young actress who had both slept with her boyfriend and husband. At the end she used a marvelous method to success and punish that young actress.

Being Julia
Terrific film. Annette Bening is powerful as Julia. Jeremy Irons plays well also. Box Office sleeper but a really fine film. Well written, interesting character development. I was very pleased and surprised how much I liked the movie. Will watch it many times.
