"Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow are dazzling" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) in this wildly romantic tale of desire and passion based on the timeless novel by Charles Dickens.

The moment young Finn sets eyes on Estella, she becomes his inspiration... and his obsession. Despite being warned, "she'll only break your heart," he vows to win her love. Years later, thanks to a mysterious benefactor, aspiring artist Finn is off to New York, where he is reunited with the icy and beautiful Estella. When she agrees to model for him, Finn's dearest hopes may at last be realised - along with his darkest fears!

Co-starring Anne Bancroft and Robert De Niro, this "must-see love story" (National News Syndicate) paints a lush portrait of two people from different worlds who are linked by destiny and fated to touch each other's souls.
