From Jean Rhys' brilliant novel, this sumptuous character study of expatriates in Bohemian Paris in the 1920s features Isabelle Adjani, who won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her role, and two-time Academy Award®-winner Maggie Smith. Following their superb adaptation of Henry James' THE EUROPEANS, the team of Merchant Ivory further demonstrates their gift for bringing great novels to the screen. Adjani plays Marya, a young woman stranded penniless in Paris when her husband is jailed for theft. She is rescued by an English couple, the Heidlers, and enters into a living arrangement that becomes a precarious triangle. The resulting emotional intrigue leads Marya to confront life's challenges on her own. Stunning performances by Alan Bates and Maggie Smith as the Heidlers, and lush cinematography evoking Paris in the '20s illuminate this classic film, now newly restored and remastered -- a treasure to enjoy again and again!
