The House of Mirth - Rotten Tomatoes Despite being a period piece, The House of Mirth's depiction of social cruelty still feels chilling and relevant for today. Terence Davies (DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES) triumphs with his sumptuous, painterly adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel, which is set amid the vicious moneyed classes of 1905 New York and features a heartrending, perfectly nuanced performance by Gillian Anderson as doomed heroine Lily Bart.

THE HOUSE OF MIRTH - DVD From the Mannerist mode the Baroque acquired passion and activity, and from the Renaissance, a certain sturdiness and opulence, while the Rococo is indicated by a naturalism and light rhythm, a delicate non-functional superficiality that indicated the indolent aristocracy of that age. The House of Mirth is likewise obsessed with the illusory depths of mirrors and the suffusion of warm light that physically blurs the edges of the characters, melting every scene into a carefully framed and meticulously blocked Rococo tableau vivant. The film is a rickety edifice constructed story-by-story with the cold irony that a patently arch emotion like "mirth" implies: an ironic victim of a director who is an intimate cartographer of his own alienation and armed with the intelligence and erudition to introduce his audience to its lonesome topography. filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/houseofmirth.htm   (1501 words)

Reading Group Guide | THE HOUSE OF MIRTH by Edith Wharton It was a concession that would not only corrode their sense of style and decorum, but allow them to sacrifice the members of the "old" society who could not keep pace. Lily Bart, the heroine of The House of Mirth, is a victim of a large, unstoppable shift in the ways of the world. On one level a devastating satire of a world devoid of moral scruples, The House of Mirth is also a stringent critique of the particular restrictions and limitations such a world imposes on women. www.readinggroupguides.com /guides/house_of_mirth.asp   (1182 words)

The House of Mirth The House of Mirth is a 1905 novel by Edith Wharton. The title is taken from Ecclesiastes 7:4: "The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” In the Gillian Anderson version, she admits as much to Gus Trenor at the end of her downward spiral: "I have been such a fool." The heroine, who is far from stupid, is so bound-up in her rigid principles, that she flatly refuses to grab hold of the virtual life-rafts thrown to her. www.1bx.com /en/The_House_of_Mirth.htm   (330 words)

SparkNotes: The House of Mirth: Context It was her intent to satirize this society, but also to show the profoundly tragic suffering that goes on inside it. To be sure, The House of Mirth is a novel that condemns the elitist world of women like Bertha Dorset; it does so by promoting the age-old ideal that you can't buy happiness. Finally, it is important to keep in mind that The House of Mirth was written at a time when the realist movement in literature was thriving, spurred on by the publication of the enormously influential realist novels of French writer Emile Zola. www.sparknotes.com /lit/mirth/context.html   (488 words)

Bad Subjects: Shopping for a Change: The House of Mirth and Paris is Burning In contrast to The House of Mirth, I will discuss Jennie Livingston's film Paris is Burning to suggest that it is not only what is consumed in acts of identity formation that needs to be problematized, but the very act of consumption itself. The House of Mirth follows Lily Bart as she lives among the 'new rich' in New York City at the turn of the century, a world in which, because of her modest income, she can only ever vicariously live, but a world of which she is desperate to be a part. Therefore, although she was aware of the intimate relationship between one's social identity and the marketplace, she simultaneously embraced and disavowed the connection in her own personal life, and problematized such connections in her books. eserver.org /bs/11/Sandell.html   (5670 words)

THE HOUSE OF MIRTH Mirth, based on Edith Wharton’s novel, is an awful film that features some of the worst acting to deface the big screen in quite some time.

Mirth is broken up into two sections, with one showing Lily struggling to find the right man and the other concentrating on her descent into the gutter. www.sick-boy.com /houseofmirth.htm   (714 words)

House of Mirth, The (2000): Reviews The House of Mirth is not one of those teacup and doily movies; it's harsh and disturbing. There was little mirth or innocence in the world that Wharton was able to write her way out of (she was much happier living in Paris), and Davies and his leading lady lift the silks to reveal it as the minefield it was. While House of Mirth is well done as a period piece, it has such an eerie contemporary resonance that you nearly forget about the horses and corsets and lamplight. www.metacritic.com /video/titles/houseofmirth   (1102 words)

In 1934, World of Mirth proved itself to be the best midway that the CCEA had hired yet; it broke all previous records for midway sales. The grasp the World of Mirth had on the CCE loosened in 1942, when the exhibition decided to try a different midway company, Conklin Shows of Canada. collections.ic.gc.ca /superex/english/midway/world   (1167 words)

NOW : Movies : Do Not Miss Mirth : Jun 7 - 13, 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: ) THE HOUSE OF MIRTH (Terence Davies, 2000) has been widely overlooked, mainly because the film's American publicists botched their job royally, hosting press screenings without inviting anyone and failing to put out ads when and where it mattered. The House Of Mirth is a costume drama that puts other costume dramas to shame. Once the heady chatter of the first hour subsides, the rest of the film traces her downfall with such respect and clarity that it earns its wrenching finale. www.nowtoronto.com /issues/2001-06-07/movie_repfeature_p.html   (211 words)

Lahoucine Ouzgane To grasp the significance of Lily's actions, especially her decision to opt out of her mimetic rivalry with Bertha Dorset, we need to consider the novel in light of Wharton's strong sense that the human begins when the individual renounces mimetic desire and her equally strong feeling that mimetic rivalry is inimical to human reason. In "The House of Mirth Revisited," Diana Trilling points out that "The poignancy of [Lily's] fate lies in her doomed struggle to subdue that part of her own nature which is no better than her own culture" (109). Frances L. Restuccia, for instance, in the widely-anthologized "The Name of the Lily: Edith Wharton's Feminism(s)," notes that "The House of Mirth is a feminist novel" that celebrates Lily's "irreducibility," her "indeterminacy," and her "equivocation"--aspects of character that enable Lily to elude "the attempted encapsulizations of her male observers" (407). www.humnet.ucla.edu /humnet/anthropoetics/ap0302/MIRTH.html   (6976 words)

House of Mirth   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Terrence Davies' The House of Mirth is a moving adaptation of Edith Wharton's bleak novel. A caustic account of the repressive, enclosed environment of turn-of-the-century New York society, it recounts the downfall of one woman who attempted to live by her own rules, unaware of how brittle reputations in her world actually were. Davies' staging of these scenes emphasise the cruel superficiality of Bertha's behaviour and the willingness of a society too enamoured with its own image to do anything but ostracise the source of a scandal, true or false (however, this set may have also been used due to the expense of shooting on location. www.nottingham.ac.uk /film/journal/filmrev/house-of-mirth.htm   (925 words)

Mirth Quotes. Harmless mirth is the best cordial against the consumption of the spiit; wherefore jesting is not unlawful, if it trespasseth not in quantity, quality, or season.

Movie Review - House of Mirth, The - Hollywood Bitchslap   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The House of Mirth is a beautiful film; an admirable adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel about New York high society. The languorous pacing of The House of Mirth is occasionally draining, but there are compensations in the sumptuous look of the film: Remi Adefarasin's pristine cinematography, the luscious costume and production design, and exteriors (the stately homes and parks of Glasgow substituted for New York). Bart's gender and lack of familial connections are a distinct handicap to retaining her precarious position in society. www.hollywoodbitchslap.com /review.php?movie=4773&reviewer=104&printer=1   (308 words)
