It’s strange that it’s not as well known given that it was Julian Fellowes’ proto-Downton Abbey. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and it’s like a who’s-who of the best of British actors.
It's weird, I thought there were a ton of great performances in that movie, and yet I really didn't like it at all. I've even watched it twice because I thought maybe I missed something the first time, but nope.
It goes against the usual, overly romanticised trope for Country House dramas, to be much more gritty and seedy. I like it. Lots of cameos too, a real ensemble piece.
He was amazing in Gosford Park (2001). It's sad it's such a little known movie.

I adore that film. It was the template for Downton Abbey, created by the writer of Gosford Park.
Julian Fellowes!

The cast is absolute dynamite. It's one of my vary favorite as well.

He's terrific in it though.

It does have a weird vibe to it, I'll admit. I do love it myself though.
I liked him in Layer Cake
