The Princess of Montpensier

The sweepingly romantic drama the Princess of Montpensier is the perfect showcase for actress Melanie Thierry (Babylon A.D., the Legend of 1900), one of the most beautiful and accomplished young actresses in the world. In this vivid film, she is the object of desire of four powerful men: The young prince who married her but is driven more by jealousy than lust, the battle-scarred beauty Henri de Guise (Gaspard Ulliel of Hannibal Rising and a Very Long Engagement) who must have her no matter the risk, the powerful Duc d'Anjou, and her personal tutor (the soulful Lambert Wilson from of Gods And Men) who is the only man that loves her truly. In the tradition of Dr. Zhivago, this film by director Bertrand Tavernier (Round Midnight) proves that indeed passion destroys everything.
