I Capture The Castle (2003)

"I Capture The Castle" is a coming-of-age drama set in 1930s England. It follows a poor but eccentric family living in a crumbling castle as new neighbors upend their fortunes. Adapted from Dodie Smith's novel, the film mixes romance and wit with a keen eye for class and longing. Tara Fitzgerald plays the free-spirited stepmother at the heart of the household. Her performance carries an unguarded physicality rare for this kind of period piece. The archive holds 2 scenes of her here, including nude footage that breaks from the film's otherwise buttoned-up setting. It's a quieter title overall, but Fitzgerald gives this page its reason to linger.
