The story opens as Lily (Gillian Anderson) takes tea at the apartment of Lawrence Selden (Eric Stoltz), a young bachelor lawyer to whom Lily is attracted but cannot marry because he is not wealthy enough for her liking. Lily stops at Selden's apartment en route to Bellomont, where she is planning to husband-hunt at the country home of shifty businessman Gus Trenor (Dan Aykroyd) and his wife. Gus agrees to invest some money for Lily, but his intentions toward her quickly turn carnal, and when she rebuffs his advances, she finds herself in debt. Help arrives in the form of financier Sim Rosedale (Anthony LaPaglia), who extends to Lily a businesslike proposition of marriage;...more details below”

Deeply moving
It's a tragedy of pride and circumstances. I first saw it years ago and it stayed with me. The actors (Gillian Anderson & Eric Stolz) did exceptional work in this movie. It made me wonder, with my personality, if I'd end up the same if I was born in the same era. It takes a lot of strength to ignore love in favor of security at that time.

BEST MOVIE EVER! SNUBBED BY THE OSCARS!?!
Gillian Anderson's performance in this Adaption of Edith Wharton's "House of Mirth" is nothing short of OUTSTANDING! The costumes, the supporting actors, the heartbreaking story blended together to make one of the best movies I've EVER seen. How it got snubbed at the Oscars in 2000 is a travesty! This little independent would have swept the awards if it had gotten any nominations!! A MUST SEE CLASSIC! My score on a 10 point scale - 11!!!Gillian Anderson's performance in this Adaption of Edith Wharton's "House of Mirth" is nothing short of OUTSTANDING!

A Social Butterfly Whose Wings Get Clipped
House of Mirth, a film based on an Edith Wharton novel, charts the fall of a particular type of woman in turn of the twentieth century society, Lily Bart, who is a kind of professional hanger-on among the wealthy Eastern seaboard members of the social register--She herself has little money, her rich, but very rigid, aunt supports her--And when Lily gets into big trouble, her lack of skills, with which she might turn to making a living, shows how much of a kind of parasite she has been--"Parasite" being very harsh, and in LIly's case feels inappropriate, as she is, played by Gillian Anderson brilliantly, a charming, vivacious, independent-appearing (that "appearing" is important!) woman who trades on her potential eligibility for marriage to attract wealthy want to be suitors--Part of her ...

Interesting plot but fails to deliver at the end.
Very sad ending. That is why the 4 stars. Beautiful cinematography lavish interiors and wonderful performances. Engaging plot with a likable main character. I recommend it.

The HOUSE of MIRTH
This video is a favorite of mine. It's a period piece with an all-star cast and excellent acting. It delves into the personal lives of several individuals and reveals their ambitions, motives, and machinations to acquire their heart's desires. This is such an excellent video - I JUST LOVE IT.
