Vanity Fair
2004, 135 minutes, Rated PG
From the classic best selling novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama) stars as Becky Sharp, bringing to the screen one of the greatest literary female characters ever created.
Beautiful, funny, passionate, and calculating, Becky is the orphaned daughter of a starving English artist and a French chours girl. She yearns for a more galmorous life than her birthright promises and resolves to conquer English society by any means possible.
A mere ascension into the heights of society is simply not enough. So Becky finds a patron in the powerful Marquess of Steyne (Gabriel Byrne - Usual Suspects_ whose whims enable Becky to realise her dreams. But is the ultimate cost to high for her?
Acclaimed and bitingly funny, with carefully crafted characters stil relevant today, Vanity Fair offers a look into desire and the search for fulfilment.
