Directed by Michael Hoffman, based on the novel by Rose Tremain, Restoration (1995) won two Academy Awards for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. Set in the late 17th Century, the story follows a medical student that becomes exploited to suit the philandering needs of King Charles II of England. Great attention was given to historical detail, and the setting reflects the paradox of the time, with science intertwining with superstition leading up to the Enlightenment. The cast does a fine job all-around, including Robert Downey Jr, Meg Ryan, Sam Neill, Ian McKellan, Hugh Grant, David Thewlis and Polly Walker.
