France/Germany
Feature Film
Original Title: L'anglaise et le duc
Director: Eric Rohmer
Writers: Eric Rohmer, Grace Elliott
Cinematographer: Diane Baratier
Cast: Lucy Russell, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Alain Libolt, Charlotte Véry, Rosette, Léonard Cobiant, François Marthouret, Caroline Morin

A wealthy Scotswoman, who several years earlier had adopted France as her home, struggles to survive the French Revolution without compromising her principles, whilst her former lover, The Duke of Orleans, hopes to do so by playing an active part, in Rohmer’s fascinating and stylish mix of artifice and realism, which features a pair of impressive performances and some beautifully written dialogue.
