A 3D portrait of the tragic Lady Georgiana

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2009)

This film is about the eventful marriage and the untimely relationship of Lady Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire.
"The Duchess" has an intricate and well layered plot that captivates me throughout. Lady Georgiana's charm, wit, quest for freedom, endurance and ability to survive such immense psychological hardship is beyond words. Her character is developed very well that draws viewers into her life, and hence into the film. Keira Knightley is excellent as a well raised intellectual lady living in unfortunate circumstances. She expresses her character to the full, creating much resonance regarding the tragic happenings of Lady Georgiana. The lavish sets and costumes also create a visual feast that constantly pleases the eye that demands much visual stimulation. "The Duchess" is a great period piece that captivates and engages throughout. I really enjoyed watching it.
