Basil is a 1998 British historical drama film directed by Radha Bharadwaj and starring Jared Leto, Derek Jacobi, Claire Forlani, and Christian Slater. It was based on the 1852 novel of the same name by Wilkie Collins. The adaptation was by Bharadwaj.
Basil (Jared Leto) is a young British aristocrat who grew up on the country estate of Windermere Hall. His father, Frederick (Derek Jacobi), is a traditionalist who believes that there are things people of their class should never do. One of those things is romancing the women of lower classes, and Frederick threatens Basil with disinheriting him if he ever succumbs to the temptation. Young Basil is, however, of a rebellious nature and, during his studies, he befriends a commoner named John Mannion (Christian Slater). Mannion introduces the young aristocrat to Julia Sherwin (Claire Forlani), the beautiful daughter of a local merchant. Basil falls in love and marries the girl, only to realize that she was sleeping with John and was pregnant with his child. Basil attacks John in an alley and stomps his face in when he realizes what John was up to. Later he delivers Julia's child and hears John coming up the stairs. He hides and sees him with a mask covering his face. Julia tries to lift it, and John says, "Remember as I was, not what I am now". She dies in his arms after telling him the child is his, not Basil's. All john wants is to take the child and leave. Basil hears and chases John with a knife. They fight and Basil pulls down John's mask. He gasps when he sees his face. It is very scarred and mutilated. John has chosen not to see his face but he sees it in the reflection of the knife he is holding. He goes to a nearby cliff and commits suicide because of his ruined face. Basil takes the newborn child and escapes to Ireland. He names her Clara, after an old friend. He goes back to England and meets the original Clara. They talk and then the film is over.

Niech nie ide sam
Zagram ci piosenki
Napisane w snach
To czary niewinne
Me jedyne dary
Matulo kochana
Jestem tak stary
Wsioryba
Ej zabierz mnie daleko
Az po szczescia kres
Bede szedl za toba
Tak jak wierny pies
Chcialbym ci powiedziec
Troche mi zalezy
Kiedy widze ciebie
Zapominam siebie
Za ciebie I za mnie
Za zadne pieniadze
Serca nie poskapie
I juz nie zabladze
Slyszalem ze kwitnie
Na szczycie beztroski
Szczescia bezmiar wielki
I male radostki
Wsioryba
Ej zabierz mnie ze soba
Niech nie ide sam
Namaluje slonce
Potem caly swiat
Zakopie sie w tobie
I troche pomoge
Jak sercem pokarmisz
I ze mnie nie zadrwisz
Wylecze twe rany
I dla cie zaspiewam
Chcialbym ci powiedziec
Troche tu posiedze
Poczekam na ciebie
Zanim tu nie przyjdziesz
Daj mi jakis znak
Kochaj mnie doszczetnie
Kochaj mnie bo zwariuje
Mow do mnie niegrzecznie
Mow do mnie koniecznie
Mow do mnie milosnie
Jesli nie poczujesz
Jesli nie pokochasz
Nie boj sie
Dam se rade
Dam se rade dam se ja
Dam se rade dam se ja
Rade dam se rade
Dam se rade
Powiedz mi gdzie mieszkasz
Otworz drzwi gdy przyjde
Usmaz mi szparagi
Chcialbym cie uslyszec musze sie dowiedziec
Ile w sercu miejsca dla mnie masz
Czy jakakolwiek drobinke ci na mnie zalezy
Lezy mi na sercu a to meczy
Znow wymyslam dla ciebie naiwne piosenki
Zdaje sobie sprawe iz troche przeginam,
Ale chcialbym bys wiedziala ze milosci jest to wina
Widzialem jak twoj pociag odjezdzal
A ja stalem nie moglem sie ruszyc I krzyczec sie balem
Ciebie pani wielbic pragne ponad zycie
W sercu w duszy w mysli I w zachwycie
Co to za szalenstwo ogarnia mnie o nieba
Myslalem, ze do szczescia niczego mi nie trzeba,
A wiec moj aniele napijmy sie wina
Lub chodzmy do kina bo dluzej nie wytrzymam
Halo jak sie masz
Juz nie obawiaj sie nie ma mnie tu to tylko sen
I nakazalas bym odwrocil sie wiec musze juz isc musze juz isc
A to tylko strach szalony byl ze mi cie skradl
Milosnij minie mi w koncu tak jak ci
Lecz niepokoisz wciaz mnie koi mnie tylko sen
A sny sa pelne zludzen chyba zwariuje gdy sie obudze
Choc czas nadszedl juz odejsc nie umiem przestac myslec o tobie
Milosnij
Sen na ulicy bajkowej deszcz znow wpadl ci do glowy
Dziadek opowie ci bajke lecz wczesniej zakuri se fajke
Milosnij mimo ze nie ma juz nic
Nie ma juz nic miedzy nami ten czas zostal zapomniany
A ja nie mam juz zludzen o wszystkim zapomnisz gdy sie obudzisz
