The Duchess 
(UK 2008) Dir: Saul Dibb, 110 mins
Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Dominic Cooper
Another chance to see the story of a woman who rose to fame in a world of protocol, gossip and social rules. Like her direct descendant Princess Diana, Georgiana Spencer, the Duchess of Devonshire, was adored by an entire country. But behind her glamorous facade lay an intelligent, vulnerable woman stranded in a loveless marriage to one of the richest men in England. |
 |
Frustrated by the limits imposed on her by her sex and class, she tore down conventions, becoming a campaigner for the Liberal Party. In doing so, she fell for Earl Grey, the future Prime Minister. But could true love survive the strictures of the Duke and society, the presures of marriage, motherhood, class and celebrity?
