The Duchess (2008) starring
Keira Knightley, Ralph
Fiennes, Dominic Cooper, Charlotte
Rampling. Georgiana (
Knightley) marries the Duke of
Devonshire (
Fiennes) and thus becomes the Duchess of
Devonshire. But the time is the late 18
th century, and they are a poor match. She fails to provide him with a male heir, which is basically all he wants from her, and he treats her wretchedly. She rebels, but all of the power is in his hands. There's a lot of
sturm und drang, but basically this is a chick flick set in historic times.
Grade: B
