Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I watched Gosford Park this morning. Oh my god, the awesome! Then Stephen Fry showed up and it got awesomer!

Because books.
Oooh, Daisy, had you never seen that? It's one of my all-time favorites. The whole thing is just dripping with atmosphere and attitude and ennui and delicious dialogue.

Oh, she's fantastic in that role.
That movie is also good for incredible house porn.

One of these days I'm going to watch Gosford Park and La Règle du Jeu on consecutive nights and do a seven-decade country-house compare and contrast. It's an exercise I've often thought about doing with my students.
What I love most about Gosford Park is Ryan Philippe's terrible Scottish accent... which turns out is supposed to be a terrible Scottish accent. Also Claudie Blakley's put-upon thirties wife.

Lots of love for that movie from me, too. One of the highest points of Altman's pretty great late period. And a double feature of Gosford Park and The Rules of The Game sounds fucking delightful, Fiona.
