Jude the Obscure

Don't ask me why I am obsessed with this film. Just the way it is. Jude is a 1996 English film, based on the novel Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy and directed by Michael Winterbottom. It tells the story of a stonemason pursuing the cousin he loves even though both are married. The screenplay is written by Hossein Amini. The original music score is composed by Adrian Johnston. Christopher Eccleston played Jude in the file, who (born on February 16, 1964) is an English stage, television and film actor, best known for his roles in several high profile low budget films and television work. He is 100 times cooler than Jude Law. A great stage artist as well. In the Victorian period, Jude Fawley is a young man with dreams of receiving a scholarly university education. Circumstances conspire against him, however, forcing him into a job as a stonemason and an unsatisfactory marriage. He remains true to his dream, however, and years later, after his wife's sudden departure, heads for the city. There he encounters his beautiful cousin, Sue Bridehead, who shares his intelligence and his disdain for convention, and the two develop a romantic relationship. These unlikely lovers must struggle to keep their relationship from a disapproving world, however, or else face the tragic consequences of public scandal.
