The Princess of Montpensier (2010)

In the turbulent backdrop of 16th century France, torn asunder by brutal Catholic/Protestant wars, unfolds the riveting drama of The Princess of Montpensier. Masterfully directed by Bertrand Tavernier, and inspired by the iconic novella of Madame de Lafayette, the story plunges into the emotional whirlpool of Marie de Mezières, a young woman entranced by her dashing cousin, Henri de Guise. Yet, her father's political machinations ensnare her in a marriage with the influential Philippe de Montpensier, a man she knows only as a stranger. As Philippe is summoned to the warfront, Marie finds herself under the stewardship of Count Chabannes, a seasoned nobleman wearied by the battles of his time. Left in the midst of court's labyrinthine sexual and political maneuverings, Marie must navigate a world of intrigue and betrayal. The Princess of Montpensier is a compelling tale of love, power, and the struggle of one woman against the torrent of history.
