Maverick auteur Andrzej Zulawski directs this flamboyant adaptation of classic French novel La Princesse de Cleves. Sophie Marceau stars as talented Canadian photographer Clelia who moves to Paris with her ailing mother after accepting a contract with a scandal-mongering tabloid called La Verite. Just before marrying Cleve, the flighty young man who runs his family's venerable publishing house, she meets Nemo, a dashing photographer who lets her know on no uncertain terms that he'd like to sleep with her. Despite her ferocious attraction to Nemo, Clelia stubbornly chooses to honor her marital vows. (Cinemax)
