Great New Bel Ami Review by Radio Times 5 comments
From Radio Times
It’s pretty daring to take Robert Pattinson, the most fanciable young actor of his generation, and cast him alongside actresses of the calibre of Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci. But it’s a risk that pays off here as his performance takes this retelling of Guy de Maupassant’s tale of sex and ambition to another level. As thrilling as it is sumptuous, the first feature from theatre directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod brings Paris at the turn of the 20th century to vibrant life, as handsome, brutish social climber Georges Duroy (Pattinson) plunders and blunders his way around the women of powerful men. The stunning production design frames Duroy’s amorality as it unfolds like a rotten flower, and Pattinson has never looked more irresistible or dangerous. Thurman, especially, is a revelation – literally finding a new quality to her voice as the influential and wealthy Madeleine Forestier. A hauntingly beautiful triumph of content over style, this isDangerous Liaisons meets Cruel Intentions with extra added credibility.

Christina Ricci praises her Bel Ami co-star Robert Pattinson in a new video interview which you can watch above.
The actress plays Clotilde de Marelle in the erotic political thriller, which is released in the UK today (March 9). Her character falls under the spell of Pattinson’s amoral and ambitious Georges Duroy.
Speaking about the role, Ricci said: “What I thought was great about playing this character was it gave me an opportunity to play somebody who we as an audience can see her experience pain and heartbreak for the first time. She’s someone for who everything’s always been great and she’s just always had fun in her life, and that to me was very interesting.”
She went on to pay tribute to Pattinson, saying, “He’s such a good actor and he comes to work prepared and focussed. He has the perfect amount of intensity for this part, but of anything was ever awkward or uncomfortable, we were able to make fun of ourselves and each other. ‘This is going to be a comfortable day, glad to see we’re both in our underwear!’”
Speaking about the 19th century Paris-set film’s appeal, Ricci added: “It’s a really interesting movie, and it’s a thought-provoking film. There are some great performances in it and it’s beautiful. I know that this is a different take on the sort of normal romantic period piece, but I think that’s what makes it interesting and really alluring.”
Bel Ami co-stars Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott-Thomas.

More videos from his on-set interview posted here
Robert Pattinson may have found fame playing the sweet and sensitive Edward Cullen in ‘Twilight’, but omg! can reveal the real-life Rob has a penchant for bad-boy behaviour. Oooh! The gorgeous actor told us exclusively exactly what he got up while filming upcoming movie ‘Bel Ami’ and we were pretty shocked with his response!
Robert said “I liked fighting and drinking in Budapest [laughs].”
We think he meant while in character filming scenes in the Hungarian capital, but maybe this is what he got up to after hours. Rob in a fight? We can only hope this was over us!
Talk turned to what drew him to his latest on-screen venture and how it differed to ‘Twilight’.
“It was exhausting trying to fit so much in [to the film],” Robert said.
“‘Bel Ami’ is something different, every actor who has come on set is so baffled by the fact my character Georges doesn’t get his comeuppance.”
But what we’re really concerned about is which women are locking lips with our one true love in the film? Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas each get up close and personal with Robert in the movie and wow are we jealous.
And the actor only had good things to say about his co-stars too: “They are all very strong and had long careers so they know exactly how they want to do things.”

“He is one of the most bankable, handsome film stars in the world, and a household name having starred most famously as hunky Edward Cullen in the box office-storming Twilight series, and as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films.
Yet Christina Ricci knew almost nothing about Robert Pattinson, and had seen none of his movies, when they met on the set of the new erotic drama Bel Ami.
However, they still hit it off like old friends and turned a sometimes difficult film shoot into a fun-filled frolic.
“We would just goof off and laugh while we were working,” says Christina, 32.
“He’s a sweet guy and super funny… and a really good kisser.”
It was therefore easy for her to understand why Rob’s girlfriend, Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, paid so many visits to the set.
“He’s so charming and smart,” Christina continues. “He’s so organised and in charge of his career. He was actually giving me advice,” adds Californian Ricci, who has been acting since she was nine years old.
Bel Ami, based on the 1885 French novel by Guy de Maupassant, has a stellar cast which also includes Kristin Scott Thomas and Uma Thurman, and is executive produced by the Beckhams’ manager Simon Fuller.
Christina plays the married but naive Clotilde de Marelle, a Parisian society lady who is seduced by Pattinson’s manipulative and immoral Georges Duroy.
Her favourite parts of filming, she says, were “the costumes, the makeup and Rob”.
