From the author of celebrated classics 'A Room with a View', 'A Passage to India' and 'Howards End' comes the acclaimed adaptation of E.M. Forster's brilliant debut novel, WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD. Starring Judy Davis ('A Passage to India', 'Deconstructing Harry'), Helene Bonham-Carter ('A Room with a View', 'Big Fish') and Rupert Graves ('A Room with a View', 'V for Vendetta'), WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD is a lavishly told tale of passion, betrayal and turn-of-the-century cultures in collision.
Recently widowed -- and desperate to escape her oppressive, upper-class English in-laws -- free-spirited Lilia Herriton finds refuge in the ancient landscapes of rural Italy. There she impulsively marries the handsome Gino Carella. But when a child is born, tragedy strikes, and Lilia's scandalized relatives embark on a plot to bring her young son to England for a "proper" upbringing. Dazzling performances by its ensemble cast highlight this atmospheric, sumptuously filmed period drama from one of the greatest names in English literature.
