Name, fame and

power is what

Georges Duroy wants. And he is ready to go to any extent to have ’em all…

As Georges Duroy (Pattison), getting the woman of repute (name, fame, power, money) to join him in bed is a child’s play. And once done, he so unabashedly moves on to projects bigger… in a way that you are left wondering if this is the same guy who stands tall as the epitome of die-no-die-I-will-always-love-you.

Of course, helping him to break away from that twilight-ism are the three leading ladies who have ruled the box office in their own ways: Uma Thurman’s career-comes-first Madeleine, Christina Ricci’s to-be-or-not-to-be Clotilde and Kristin Scott Thomas’ goody-goody Virginie.

The setting is perfect: It’s the end of the 19th century — a time when Paree was full of horses and carriages, cancan dresses and aristocrats with a knack of doing everything with poise.

The plot is tried and tested – an ex-war soldier of hardly any means dreams of making it big… by hook or crook. Yes, what goes under those porcelain-covered and satin-mixed stuff has always been questionable. But once again, standing tall in this world of greed, corruption, politicians, the elite… is none other than Pattinson.

Watch him emote right in the end, where his anger, passion and sense of failure knows no boundaries. (Agencies)
