Thurman and Pattinson’s Steamy Love

ONTD tips us off to this:

“Bel Ami, based on the short story by Guy de Maupassant, is an erotically charged tale of ambition, power and seduction which chronicles the rise of Georges Duroy from poverty into the ‘beau monde’ of 1890’s Paris.

Using his wits and powers of seduction, Duroy moves from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties who inhabit where sex is power and celebrity an obsession, and where politics and media jostle for influence.”

Directed by: Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod
