The Lady and the Duke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
L'Anglaise et le duc (English: The Lady And The Duke) is a 2001 feature film by French director Éric Rohmer.
The roughly two hour film is inspired by the autobiography "Ma vie sous la révolution" by Grace Elliott; starring Lucy Russell, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, François Mathouret. It was criticised by many viewers in France because of its uncompromising presentation of revolutionary violence; some described it as reactionary or monarchist propaganda.
