Jude Law plays her strict husband and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is her lover in a film that boldly stages much of its action -- including a pulse-pounding horse race and decadent costume balls -- inside an ornate theater. Look out for classy supporting turns from TV stars Kelly Macdonald ("Boardwalk Empire"), Ruth Wilson ("Luther") and Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey").
