It’s a delicately-paced story of two aging sisters--Ursula (Dame Judi Dench) and Janet (Maggie Smith--who live together on a Cornwall beach in 1936. They discover a foreign stranger washed ashore (Daniel Bruhl), and while nursing him back to health make an astonishing discovery: the young man, a Pole, is a phenomenally gifted violinist. And Ursula finds her feelings for the man go far deeper than merely maternal. Writer and director Charles Dance has crafted an admirable debut. Ladies in Lavender a tenderly done and bittersweet story of innocence and regret. Though the dialogue sometimes seems too earnest, and he has an over-reliance on slow motion cinematography, he still allows his two talented leads enough time and space to shine. It’s only unfortunate that more effort did not go into the DVD release of the film: the extras only consist of soundbites from the cast and crew, which add little insight. --Ted Kord Heart-warming drama about unfulfilled dreams, innocence and unrequited love. Janet (Maggie Smith) and Ursula (Judi Dench) are sisters who discover a castaway on the beach below their house. They nurse him back to health with the help of the local doctor (David Warner) and discover he has a talent as a musician. However, the castaway has an unsettling effect on the sisters, especially Ursula, whose life changes forever. Review: A Masterpiece - Ladies in Lavender has to be a masterpiece of film-making and acting but what else would one expect from Dudi Dench, Maggi Smith, Miriam Margoles and Charles Dance? It is an unlikely story of a young man being washed up onto a Cornish beach in the 1930s and being found and nursed back to health by two aging sisters. It then becomes a story of love, jealousy and suspicion. It was so refreshing to watch a gentle film that covered the whole range of human emotions. Daniel Bruhl was superb as the Polish violinist, his youthful vitality being in total contrast to Ursula and Janet. The music brought tears to my eyes as did the inevitable fate of the two sisters. It was so refreshing to watch a film devoid of violence but it takes incredible acting to draw one into such a story and the main charcters did that. It is a film I will watch over and over again. Review: Poignant and lovely - Enchanting film, superbly acted with every character perfectly cast. I've watched it again and again and only love it more. It is tender funny, sad and charts an unrequited passion of a much older woman for a young manplayed by Judi Dench and Daniel.Bruhl- with sensitivity and depth. Maggie Smith is peerless as Janet, Ursulas acerbic, grounded but kind sister, and the indirect rivalry between them over the young musician Andrea is subtly and brilliantly played. Set in the years before ww2, the beautiful Cornish scenery and a glorious array of local characters inc Miriam Margoyles as the sisters' rude, bossy, warm hearted cook , give you the intimate sense that you are living the story with Janet, Ursula and Andrea, and Natascha McElhone as the beautiful rival who stumbles on their world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Charles Dance, Clive Russell, Daniel Brühl, David Warner, Freddie Jones, Hema Malini, Judi Dench, Lisa Maxwell, Maggie Smith, Miriam Margolyes, Natascha McElhone, Stephen Garlick, Toby Jones Contributor Charles Dance, Clive Russell, Daniel Brühl, David Warner, Freddie Jones, Hema Malini, Judi Dench, Lisa Maxwell, Maggie Smith, Miriam Margolyes, Natascha McElhone, Stephen Garlick, Toby Jones See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,330 Reviews | | Format | Anamorphic, Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL | | Genre | drama | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05017239192821 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Entertainment in Video | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 40 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Anamorphic, Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL - **Genre:** drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 40 minutes ## Images ![Ladies in Lavender [DVD] (2004) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+eark5R5L.jpg) ![Ladies in Lavender [DVD] (2004) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81v4snQ2hPL.jpg) ![Ladies in Lavender [DVD] (2004) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yACi9nxeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Masterpiece *by A***A on 29 November 2011* Ladies in Lavender has to be a masterpiece of film-making and acting but what else would one expect from Dudi Dench, Maggi Smith, Miriam Margoles and Charles Dance?

This love story with a difference has been masterly directed by Charles Dance (who, up to now, I've only experienced as an actor, usually interpreting the villain of the story) Judi Dench ("M" in James Bond films) very convincingly and sensitively interprets the role of the elderly spinster, offset by a Maggie Smith who firmly has her feet on the ground. Daniel Bruehl, a young German actor ("Goodbye Lenin") is delightful in the role of Andrea, a Polish young violinist, who is shipwrecked on the coast of Cornwall. The music is heavenly.....AND excellently "dosed". Usually the music is much too loud in most films, especially American, so that the dialogue is difficult to follow. This is not the case here and the film is an all-round pleasure. Thank you Charles Dance! The film is directed at a broad audience, both male and female.....even my husband, who prefers action films, thoroughly enjoyed it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ladies in Lavender [DVD] (2004) [2017] - Tea With Mussolini (1999) [DVD] - Nothing Like A Dame [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50469344-ladies-in-lavender-dvd-2004](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50469344-ladies-in-lavender-dvd-2004) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
