Title: Privileged Life in Another Era
Review: Outstanding period drama about a weekend on a British country estate where family and friends have gathered to shoot birds. The cast is stellar, the setting gorgeous and the script spell-binding. During the visit, we get to know the characters quite well, watching them surreptiously exchange bed partners and secrets. The men in the shooting party are highly competitive, exact count is kept of how many birds are shot and by whom, a practice which ultimately leads to tragedy. By the end of the weekend, many lives are transformed forever. This is underscored by the ending which denotes who goes off to war and what happens to them.This is a wonderful movie, so well acted. It is a gem worth watching and enjoying the life style of a generation now past.
