Below, you can enjoy a clip from the visually stunning and delicate 1979 romantic drama Tess by the Polish director and master storyteller Roman Polanski.
The film won three Academy Awards, for:
- Best Cinematography, by Ghislain Cloquet and Geoffrey Unsworth;
- Best Costume Design, by Anthony Powell;
- and Best Art Direction, by Pierre Guffroy and Jack Stephens.
Based on the famous 1891 feminist novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman by the English writer Thomas Hardy, the movie is set in Hardy's fictional English countryside Wessex during the 1880s, and stars the beautiful german actress Nastassja Kinski as the poor and unfortunate country girl Tess, Leigh Lawson as the rich and arrogant seductor Alec, and Peter Firth as the young poetic farmer and love interest Angel.
Firth is not shown in the clip below, but Kinski and Lawson are.
Genre: historical drama / romance
