It’s strange that it’s not as well known given that it was Julian Fellowes’ proto-Downton Abbey. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and it’s like a who’s-who of the best of British actors.
It’s weird, I thought there were a ton of great performances in that movie, and yet I really didn’t like it at all. I’ve even watched it twice because I thought maybe I missed something the first time, but nope.
It goes against the usual, overly romanticised trope for Country House dramas, to be much more gritty and seedy. I like it. Lots of cameos too, a real ensemble piece.
He was amazing in Gosford Park (2001). It’s sad it’s such a little known movie.

The cast is absolute dynamite. It’s one of my vary favorite as well.

He’s terrific in it though.
It does have a weird vibe to it, I’ll admit. I do love it myself though.

I liked him in Layer Cake
