Synopsis

In the late Claude Miller's exquisite adaptation of this classic novel, Audrey Tautou (Amélie) stars as Thérèse, a provincial housewife in 1920s France, suffocating in her arranged marriage to a boorish landowner. When her best friend falls madly in love, Thérèse sees first-hand the awesome power of passionate love and what is missing in her own life. Yearning to break free from the fate imposed upon her, she resorts to extreme measures in a desperate bid for freedom.
