Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.

Over the course of one night in an Irish country estate in the 1880s, a man and a woman engage in an illicit romantic relationship. The problem is, that Julie (Jessica Chastain) is the daughter of an Irish Count, and Jean (Colin Farrell) is the valet of her father. Despite his well-read and well-travelled nature, Jean is still a servant, and cannot indulge in the love with his boss' daughter. Julie, however, knows that Jean must do as he commands, and begins a game of forcing him more and more into the romantic confrontation they are both denied.

'Miss Julie' is directed by Norwegian actress and film director Liv Ullmann, who won the 'Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Drama' for The Emigrants.

The film made its first appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival on 7th September 2014. It is set for a limited US release on 5th December, 2014.
