In this adaptation of a novel by British author Elizabeth Taylor, Romola Garai plays Angel, a grocer's daughter who writes her way to the life she'd imagined when her success as a romance novelist enables her to buy the country mansion of her dreams. True paradise, however, remains elusive in this satire of period melodramas directed by François Ozon and co-starring Michael Fassbender, Sam Neill and Charlotte Rampling.
