This is MADFABULOUS, a riotous, uncompromising celebration of otherness inspired by an unlikely British aristocrat who theatrically bankrupted his estate, lived fast, and died young.
The film is based on Henry Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey, who smashed society’s notions of class, gender, and decorum, squandering a multimillion-pound fortune before his untimely death. They left nothing behind but love, and a really good story.
