Basil
DramaRomance
A lonely young aristocrat in turn-of the century England struggles to meet the approval of his over-bearing, class-conscious father while trying to please the selfish woman he loves.
VIBE
A quiet, introspective drama steeped in the stifling atmosphere of Edwardian England. It's a film that feels like a faded photograph, full of unspoken desires and the quiet ache of longing for connection and approval.
