If you loved The Scarlet Empress, try The Duchess
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Scarlet Empress, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Duchess is
Eighteenth century England, autumn leaves, a lavish ball. A duchess's lavish lifestyle and political ambitions clash with societal expectations, a complicated marriage unfolds. This period drama benefits from a second viewing on a rainy afternoon.
