1ST PERIOD SET FILM IMAGES
FROM SAVAGE HOUSE 18TH CENTURY FILM
First up today, an image from Peter Glantz directed movie SAVAGE HOUSE set against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – it is a darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant) and Lady Savage (Claire Foy) and their blind
pursuit of a better life. It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power. Bel Powley, Jack Farthing, Pip Torrens also star.

My Place Is Here is definitely going on my list. What an crazy time to be a women or gay. I would have been a Marta. I imagine the gay community opened her world to a lot more than societal prejudices, but probably added some excitement to her life as well.
