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.

If you’ll watch this movie you’ll be in tension all the time. I couldn’t predict the end, and the end was really nice – everyone got what they were deserved. Sure, “Basil” not for everyone, if you don’t like drama you’ll never like this. May be, this movie is for women. I know men don’t like such tearful scenes.

I really love this movie and once again I realized that Jared Leto is unbelievable actor. This role is really for him.
