      • Passion, known in some releases as Passion: The Story of Percy Grainger, is a 1999 Australian drama film about some episodes in the life of the pianist and composer Percy Grainger. It stars Richard Roxburgh as Grainger.


      Plot


      Passion concentrates on Grainger's unusual relationship with his mother and his sexual interests (especially his obsessive self-flagellation, though homosexuality is also hinted at), which affect his relationship with a woman who comes to love him.
      It is set mainly in London in 1914, when Grainger's mother Rose was ill (she later jumped to her death in New York, following ill-founded rumours of incest with her son).
