Friday 18th December: SAVAGE HOUSE [15] 113 mins – Period comedy/Drama
Set in 18th-century England, Savage House follows Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant), a gloriously unscrupulous social climber propped up by debt and bravado. When the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire invite themselves to dinner, Chauncey and his razor-sharp wife, Lady Savage (Claire Foy), launch a bid to impress.
As preparations spiral into duels, decadence and bloodshed, their performance careens out of control. A darkly comic satire of class, spectacle, and the art of appearing important.
Why see it? To see two actors at the top of their game.
