Cinema


Dir: Saul Dibb
US 2008 110mins
Cast: Keira Knightley, Dominic Cooper, Ralph Fiennes

Like Princess Diana, her direct descendent, Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire (Knightley) was beautiful, glamorous and adored by the public. But while her beauty and charisma made her a household name, one thing always seemed to escape her: love.

Beneath Georgiana's glamorous facade lay an intelligent, vulnerable woman stranded in a loveless marriage to the Duke (Fiennes), one of the richest men in England. Frustrated by the limitations imposed on her by virtue of her sex and her class, she rebelled.

Georgiana's rebellion extended to the public sphere where she tore down conventions, becoming a political campaigner for the liberal party. In so doing she fell for Earl Grey, the future Prime Minister finally discovering the meaning of true love. But could true love survive the strictures of the Duke and of Society - the pressures of marriage and motherhood, of friendship and loyalty, of class and celebrity?
