The English Waltz

1983 · 69 min

A quiet, mannered chamber piece where polite conversation slowly reveals the ache of restrained desire and social obligation.

Overview: Late 19th century England. Relatives and guests gather at the country house of retired Colonel Houp. From London, where she lives as a "live-in" (her husband has left the country for a long time), comes the still young Molly Gwyn, followed by Morris Lever, the object of a flirtation that risks turning into an affair.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, tense and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Love, betrayal, class, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
