Richard E Grant and Claire Fox star as a pair of dastardly 18th-century aristocrats who are falling on tough times.

Set against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive Pox outbreak, and Jacobite Uprising – this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Grant) and Lady Savage’s (Foy) blind pursuit of a better life. It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power.

Part of Decline in Style | From Victorian extravagance to contemporary satire, these films explore aristocracy as a form of performance. Characters cling to visibility through costume, spectacle, filmmaking and social ritual, revealing class not as a stable identity but as an ongoing act of self-invention. What remains when status survives only as theatre?
