Bel Ami
Temptation. Seduction. Obsession.
Directed by Declan Donnellan, Nick Ormerod
Produced by 19 Entertainment, Redwave Films
A morally cynical period drama about seduction and social climbing in Belle Époque Paris, where ambition and sexual manipulation drive a protagonist's rise through corrupt salons and media circles.
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.
