"Carrington"
1995
Directed by Christopher Hampton

Emma Thompson gives a terrific performance as Dora Carrington, an unorthodox, androgynous painter from the early 20th-century Bloomsbury Group, who passionately loves gay writer Giles Lytton-Strachey (Jonathan Pryce). The highly regarded playwright Christopher Hampton (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) directs this tight, witty and insightful period piece, set amidst the self-conscious world of broken conventions and sexual eccentricities that come to mind whenever the name of the Bloomsbury Group is uttered.  116 minutes.
