Pity the young, affluent and tragically beautiful, if we are to believe 'Lotus Eaters.' The film, from Alexandra McGuinness, throws you into a hazy nonstop Saturnalia in elegant British surroundings as decadent 20-somethings drink, smoke, copulate, dress up, take drugs and flail with their aspirations and arbitrary passions. Its heroine, Alice (Antonia Campbell-Hughes), wants to leave modeling to be an actress; her ex-boyfriend, Charlie (Johnny Flynn), is giving rehab another shot; Marlon (Alex Wyndham) chases Alice; Suzie (Amber Anderson) frets that she is losing Felix (Benn Northover) to Alice; the somewhat older Orna (a good Cynthia Fortune Ryan) pursues Felix while manipulating Alice; and the hapless Benedict (Liam Browne) is just trying to bed whomever he can.
