With a keen eye for the absurd, Evelyn Waugh took unerring aim at the foibles of British society. This collection brings together faithful adaptations of two of his most brilliant--and biting--satires.
A Handful of Dust In this Oscar®-nominated, grimly comic tale set among the idle rich, Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient) and James Wilby (Howard’s End) portray Brenda and Tony Last, a couple whose lives slowly unravel after Brenda takes a lover to relieve her boredom. Also starring Rupert Graves (A Room with a View), Anjelica Huston, Alec Guinness, Stephen Fry, and Judi Dench in a BAFTA-winning role.
Scoop A naïve newspaper reporter tries to cover "a promising little war" in a tiny, remote African republic. Timelessly relevant, this pitch-perfect farce mercilessly skewers politicians, the press, and a gullible public. Starring Michael Maloney (Truly, Madly, Deeply), Denholm Elliott (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), and Donald Pleasence (Halloween).
DVD FEATURES INCLUDE biography of Evelyn Waugh and cast filmographies.
