Additional InformationStephen Frears, the director who bolstered his international reputation with his adaptation of Choderlos de LaclosÆs DANGEROUS LIAISONS (1988), returns to the annals of period intrigue over 20 years later with this melodrama, which reunites him with LIASONS scripter Christopher Hampton and star Michelle Pfeiffer. An adaptation of Colette's 1920 novel of the same name, the tale unfurls in late 19th century Paris -- La Belle ╔poque -- where numerous courtesans (or female companions of noblemen who occupied the royal courts) have worked their way up through the ranks of high society. Two retired courtesans, Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates) and Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer), meet for some routine gossip; Lea then meets Charlotte's hedonistic playboy son, nicknamed 'ChΘri' (Rupert Friend), and a passionate, erotic affair blossoms for the next six years between Lea and ChΘri. Eventually, Charlotte makes an aggressive attempt to interfere with the situation by setting up an arranged marriage between ChΘri and the virginal 18-year-old EdmΘe (Felicity Jones), the daughter of another ex-courtesan, Marie-Laure (Iben Hjejle). Lea feels irritated, and responds by seeking out young male lovers during a vacation in Biarritz, but the attached ChΘri is not far behind, and in seemingly no time at all the two resume their bedroom liaisons.
