miss julie be a film base on a play write by august strindberg and direct by mike figgis . strindberg be of course a swedish dramatist who be famous for his unconscious prediction . one of his play feature a japanese character call hiroshima who want to be burn alive and watch miss julie any self respecting audience member will notice that the plot predate dh lawrance lady chatterlys lover . this may make the story groundbreaking but it doesn not make it entertain and erotic or interesting . in fact figgis seem to have make a pig ear of the whole thing by cast saffron burrow and peter mullan a the two protagonist of the story . burrow be tall and slim and elegant while mullan be a wee middle age scottish guy and the two of them make one of the most unlikely screen couple ever commit to celluloid and their lust fill relationship be very difficult to believe in . figgis also fail to make the movie cinematic with most of the ( in ) action take place inside a kitchen save for a few scene in a studio exterior . it should also be point out that because it a stage play the dialogue be very important but due to some very poor sound mix it almost impossible to hear what the actor be say . not that be unforgivable .
