Hmm..same here and I'm glad HOM is in here. A film apparently under the radar.
This to me shows how cinema can capture an age and a feeling of we treat ourselves as we live our lives in a "tribe". That "tribe" in HOM will kill you without a squeak if you're not looking...;-)...
"Adapting Edith Wharton's novel for the screen, Terence Davies creates a period drama that's every bit as rhapsodic and devastating as his queer autobiographical remembrances. Indeed, as the heroine (a splendid Gillian Anderson) moves through visually exquisite yet spiritually suffocating tableaux, the genteel high-society 1905 New York is gradually revealed to be just as brutal as the working-class British tenements of the filmmaker's childhood. Davies depicts a woman's downfall and society's games with the unsentimental precision and spectral grace of one of Max Ophüls's carousels; passion throbs under the film's corseted surfaces."
