The Duchess 2008
The main actress of the film “The Duchess” is played by the extraordinarily beautiful Keira Knightley. She transforms the change in her appearance into an advantage that many artists see as a disadvantage, portraying the role of Duchess Georgiana in a legendary way. In the late eighteenth century, the most beautiful and captivating Duchess Georgiana Cavendish is the most influential woman of the time. The Duchess owes her beauty and charisma to her. However, political abuse, extravagance, greed, gambling, and love have tarnished her reputation. She marries the greatest Duke of Devonshire. With this marriage, Georgiana becomes a fashion icon. She is also a cunning politician. But Georgiana continues to search desperately for the love she still hasn’t found in her marriage. Knightley’s co-star in the film is Oscar-nominated actor Ralph Fiennes. Director Saul Dibb, one of the new directors, adapted Georgiana’s book “The Duchess of Devonshire” into a film.
