Dame Judi Dench and Kate Blanchett face off with searing performances in this riveting tale of obsession and desire. Based on the novel by Zoe Heller, NOTES ON A SCANDAL is the story of Barbara Covett (Dench), a hard-nosed spinster schoolteacher, and her poisonous friendship with fellow teacher Sheba Hart (Blanchett). When the young and beautiful Sheba shows up as the new art instructor, everyone is charmed by her, including the embittered Barbara. Barbara is thrilled when her lonely life is shaken up by Sheba's overtures of friendship, as Sheba invites her to share in family dinners, and opens up to her about her marital troubles and personal longing. Barbara narrates her own feelings of longing to us from her meticulous diaries, and it becomes increasingly clear that her take on the friendship is uncomfortably intense, if not borderline delusional. Things reach a fever pitch when Barbara happens upon Sheba dallying in the art room with a 15-year-old student. She tells Sheba that she must end the affair at once, but decides not to report her to the school, and instead, to use her knowledge of the indiscretion to draw Sheba closer to her, and put her in her debt. But when Barbara's demands on Sheba become too high, things soon unravel, setting off a chain of events that will leave viewers chewing their nails to the quick, but unable to tear their eyes away. Both Blanchett and Dench are dazzling to watch as they deftly handle the barbed wit of Patrick Marber's screenplay. Directed by Richard Eyre of the Northern Theatre of London, and with a score by Philip Glass, NOTES ON A SCANDAL takes what could serve as mere tabloid fodder and plays it out on the level of Shakespearean tragedy.

Description:

The erotic intrigue, deception, and sexual cruelty of LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES are manifest here in the rigid formalities of Korea's 18th Century Chosun Dynasty. The beautiful and depraved Lady Cho is seeking revenge on her husband, who has decided to take a young concubine, So-ok (Lee Soh-yeon). To this end she enlists the aid of her equally licentious cad of a cousin, Jo-Won (Bae Yong-jun), and asks him to deflower and impregnate the naïve teenager; if he succeeds, he wins bedding privileges with Lady Cho, the one woman who has always resisted his advances. Lord Jo-Won desists, however, in favor of a greater challenge: the beautiful young widow Lady Sook (Jeon Do-yeon), he feels, is a more suitable conquest: she has taken a vow of chastity, and is a passionate devotee of the Catholic faith, illegal at the time. The young Lord uses all manner of devious means to get close to the "Gate of Chastity," as she is known, posing as a lost soul in need of saving, though he may find his oft-repeated mantra--"I have room for only one person in my heart"--challenged in unexpected ways as he uncovers a heretofore-undiscovered humanity lurking within his scheming soul. The lush photography and stunning costumes make this film a joy to watch, with the sizzling erotic scenes and subtle playfulness contrasting markedly with the stiff social conventions of the time.
