FROM THE LINER NOTESRoman Polanski's timeless adaptation of Thomas Hardy's classic romance. A rural clergyman in 19th century England tells a simple farmer that he may be descended from the illustrious d'Urberville family. The farmer sends his daughter Tess to see a family named d'Uberville living in a manor house not far away. However, her so-called cousin purchased his "ancestral" name and coat of arms. Tess plays her own game of illusion when she finds, loses, and finds again her true love.3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM
REVIEW
Polanski's Academy Award-winning interpretation of Thomas Hardy's novel features breathtaking cinematography and a strong, eloquent performance by Kinski as a peasant girl who ruins and is ruined by two men. Polanski precisely and memorably portrays the moral rigidity of Victorian England and brilliantly moves this story to its inexorable climax. (Filmed in English)
