Guy de Maupassant’s classic tale of passion in late-18th century Paris gets adapted for the big screen in this scintillating erotic drama starring Twilight’s Robert Pattinson as a destitute young soldier who plots to gain power by seducing the mistresses of the city’s most influential men. Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Colm Meaney co-star.
Bel ami, though it has dark themes, is entertaining and has more than once funny moments apart from several steamy sex scenes. It depends of each one’s perception of the movie but I can’t help but being amused by Georges’conquests or is it Robert Pattinson who has succeeded to make an unlikeable character likable?
If you love period movies, it’s a must see. If you don’t love them, you may do after Bel ami.
