Would you risk everything to achieve your dreams? For
beautiful young Emma Bovary, a life of passion and excitement is worth any
price. Like a moth drawn to flame, she is entranced by the exotic worlds of
romance and adventure found in her favorite novels. Experience her story of
illicit passion, ultimate betrayal and heartbreaking tragedy in Gustave
Flaubert’s classic Madame Bovary. This faithful BBC dramatization follows Emma’s
determined attempts to turn her fantasies into reality — from a loveless
marriage to a kind but dull country doctor...through her torrid, ill-fated
affairs...to a final, tragic attempt to break free from the nightmare her life
has become. Madame Bovary vividly depicts one woman’s search for happiness in
the world of class struggle, manners and expectations of mid-nineteenth century
France. |
