Miss Julie (1999 film)

Miss Julie is a 1999 film directed by Mike Figgis based on the 1888 play of the same name by August Strindberg, starring Saffron Burrows in the role of Miss Julie and Peter Mullan in the role of Jean.

Miss Julie, the inexperienced but imperious daughter of the manor, deigns to dance at the servants' party.

She's also drawn to Jean, a footman who has traveled, speaks well, and doesn't kowtow.

He is engaged to Christine, a servant, and while she sleeps, Jean and Miss Julie talk through the night in the kitchen.

When Christine wakes and goes off to church, Jean and Miss Julie have their own decisions to make.
