Bel Ami (2012) | Declan Donnellan & Nick Ormerod

I want you to listen to what I’m going to say and try to understand.  Don’t be angry.  I am not making you a proposal.  At this time, in this place, it would be an odious thing to do.

I only want you to know that with one word you can make me happy.  You can make me your friend – your brother, even. Or you can make me your husband.  My heart and body are yours.

SYNOPSIS:

From Magnolia Pictures:  BEL AMI is the story of Georges Duroy, who travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.
