About this product

Product Information

This adaptation of Sarah Waters popular novel follows Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling) as she blossoms into womanhood and explores her sexuality, ostensibly forbidden in Victorian society. Nan seems destined for marriage to a nice, but dull, suitor in her seaside, English town. However, a trip to the theater changes everything when she falls in love at first sight with the ravishing Kitty Butler (Keeley Hawes), a gorgeous woman who makes a living posing as a young boy and singing in a vaudeville-style cabaret--even to the extent of cutting her hair short. Though at first unable to identify her feelings, Nan simply cannot get enough of Kitty, and soon begins to spend every available second with her. As the two grow closer, Kitty invites Nan to accompany her to London. Against her family's wishes, the two move, and Nan eventually joins the show as another gender-bending performer. However, while Nan feels only blissful love for Kitty, Kitty cannot accept the fact of their relationship, and soon begins an affair with a man. Her relationship over, devastated Nan has no career and no love. Using the boyish costumes from her show, Nan begins to prostitute herself to men who are looking for teenage boys. From there, her life spins in wild directions, as she resolves her sexuality, becomes a concubine for an abusive wealthy woman, again ascends to stardom, and finds true love.

    Great movie

    Really love this movie. Love that it addresses lesbian love and sexuality. Plus, if you are a fan of Keeley Hawes and Jodhi May, of which I am both, then , you must watch to see their superb acting. It really gives one a lot to think about and leaves you haunted by the movie.

  • Queen Victoria's Prudish Sexuality Didn't Stop Lesbians

    "Tipping the Velvet" was adapted from Sarah Waters' best-selling debut novel. It's a story set in Britain in the 1890s. Waters' focuses on the romance between Nan Astley (Rachel Stirling, incidentally the daughter of actress Diana Rigg) who is a cook in a seaside restaurant owned by her father, and Kitty Butler (Keeley Hawes), a musical hall entertainer specializing in impersonating men. Given the hypocritical moral restrictions of the Victorian era, the lesbian love relationship between Nancy and Kitty must be kept closeted except in the burgeoning British lesbian underground circles that Kitty and her liberated friends find escape and adventure through. "Tipping the Velvet" came to the US on BBC America digital-cable service beginning May 23, 2003. Next it was available online on VHS. ...

  • Tipping the Velvet - an Extraordinary Lesbian Movie

    It's an extraorinary piece of art, from any point of view you choose: a wonderful script; great acting; amazing directing and cinematography job, including some of the most stunning close ups and cross cuttings I've ever seen. The art, props and costumes are beautiful and detailed too, giving the movie its essential atmosphere. But the reason I loved it so much is its deep senstuality and eroticism. Sarah Waters, who wrote the novel that was the basis for this movie, is an expert in 19th century pornography, so she knows her field. Yet, it's far from being pornographic in any way - but erotic in a sense I've never seen before. Usually Lesbian sex and sensuality in movies seem unrealistic, but this time it feels so real, and so meaningful! It's not about or for men, it's about the ...

  • Tipping The Velvet DVD

    One of the best movies I have ever seen. By far the best lesbian themed movie ever made. Excellent performances by both Rachel Sterling and Keeley Hawes. The storyline is amazing and finale of movie has lead character having a full circle moment in her life. Where she once was a spectator in the audience, she is now the performer. Bravo! Makes me want to read the book!

  • Fun and exciting

    Fun and entertaining coming of age movie about self worth, coming to terms with one's sexuality, and having the will to overcome many obstacles. It also is a great story about women's survival and first loves and finding someone who loves you for who you are.
