The House of Mirth (2000) turned up on TCM yesterday, and I am so glad that I caught it again before Chris got home. I had totally forgotten just how good Gillian Anderson was in her role of tragic heroine Lily Bart. She perfectly captures a woman before her time! who is caught within the tight Edwardian protocols of East Coast society which ultimately destroys her dreams and future. The scene where Lily finally breaks down in front of old suitor Eric Stoltz is truly heartbreaking
