Bel Ami 2012
Directed by Nick Ormerod, Declan Donnellan | Starring: Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, Kristin Scott Thomas
Georges Duroy travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.
