The Beguiled

Sofia Coppola directs an atmospheric remake of the1971 Clint Eastwood Southern Gothic melodrama about a wounded Union soldier who finds refuge in a girls’ boarding school during the

Civil War. Nursed back to health by Nicole Kidman’s headmistress, Colin Farrell’s Yankee is soon stirring up rivalries and jealousies, and sexual and romantic longings among the women and girls, including Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning.
