William Adamson (Mark Rylance),a naturalist, returns to Victorian England after studying for several years in the Amazon. After losing nearly all his possessions and research in a shipwreck, he is offered an assistant position at the country estate of Sir Harold Alabaster. He falls for Sir Harold's daughter, Eugenia (Patsy Kensit).As he studies a colony of ants with poor relation/nanny Matty Crompton (Kristen Scott Thomas), the drama unfolds revealing shocking family secrets.
It is an incredible film, with love and sex and manipulation. And gorgeous costumes and perfect hair. It features three sex scenes that are sexy and mildly erotic.
Angels and Insects makes several erotic movie lists, and I believe it to be mostly because while it does go further than other films in the sex department, it seems more likely that the Victorian Era and the stuffiness and the ankle covering make it more erotic than it is. But still a gorgeous, interesting film.
Watchable with husband?
He may not like the costume drama, but naked Pasty Kensit is a good time.
