Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Basil
This is dramatic and cruel story about naïve heir Basil (Jared Leto), who felt in love with one mysterious woman Julia (Claire Forlani) and married her. In fact she was in love with man John Mannion (Christian Slater), who had friendship with Basil. This story is passionate and treacherous.
Rating:  - Give Wilkie Collins a Break
As an avid fan of Wilkie Collins, I knew from the start that this film would have a tragic twist. I was not disappointed! Although the film was not a blockbuster and certainly not a typical Victorian love story, it is a lavish production and contained enough twists and turns to keep me guessing to the end. It was worth the price to watch Christian Slater, Clare Forlani and Jared Leto. If any of the aforementioned actors lacked luster on the screen, I suspect it had more to do with the script's ...

Rating:  - Crazy bad film
I wanted bad to like this movie. I am a huge fan of Slater and Forlani. I saw this movie when it came out (I was 14) and was confused by it and didn't particularly like it, but obviously didn't form a solid opinion of the movie because I rented it again this week to see why I still didn't have an opinion of it. Now I know why.
The "mystery" of the film (spoilers below) has very little to do with the movie itself. I read in another review that this film is about "revenge gone wrong" ... Read More
Rating: - Certainly not up to the standard Bharadwaj set with her previous film, but not bad.
Basil (Radha Bharadwaj, 1998)
After Closetland, I considered Radha Bharadwaj one of the best directors I'd ever seen put images on film. Then... nothing. For seven years, nothing. And then came Basil, about as different a film from Closetland as it is possible to imagine. (And there has been nothing in the nine years since.)
Based on a Wilkie Collins novel, Basil is the story of, well, Basil (Jared Leto), an aristocrat whose father (Derek Jacobi, whose character is never named ... Read More
Rating: - Surprised
I haven't read this Wilkie Collins story, but I found it intriguing and for the most part enjoyed it. The one problem I had was with Christian Slater. I am a big fan of Slater but this was a terrible miscast. Instead of a turn-of-the-century English man, he was obviously a modern American. Just didn't work - that surprised me.
I think anyone who enjoys period-piece dramas will enjoy this film, though.
