Based on the novel by Guy de Maupassant, Bel Ami is the story of Georges Duroy, who travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.
The preview screening on 7 March will be introduced by directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod
To celebrate the release of Bel Ami, the sumptuous new drama starring Robert Pattinson, on 9 March, we’re offering one lucky user the chance to win a 2 night stay in the beautiful French Riviera of Nice. Courtesy of 5* luxury hotel company ‘Le Mas Candille’ and bmi, British Midland International, one winner will bag themselves a 2 night stay for them and a friend. What’s more, they’ll also be treated to an exquisite dinner in the hotel’s Michelin Star restaurant!
Based on the classic novel, Bel Ami unites an incredible cast of actors for a scandalous tale of high society 19th Century France. An erotically charged tale of ambition, power and seduction, the story chronicles the rise of penniless ex-soldier Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson THE TWILIGHT SAGA) through the echelons of the Parisian elite. Also starring Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci. Bel Ami is a timeless epic with a modern twist – A Dangerous Liaisons for a new generation.
To be in with a chance of winning, correctly answer the question at the bottom of the page (see image)
The year is 1890 and a young soldier, Georges Duroy, returns to France from the battlefields of Algeria. He’s played by Twilight‘s Robert Pattinson, who revels in the opportunity to shed his pin-up image and embark on a bonk-a-thon through the Parisian elite.
Pattinson’s most famous screen character Edward Cullen may sustain himself on blood, but there’s something equally vampiric about his portrayal of Duroy – a man with cold, darting eyes whose unquenchable thirst is for power and status. Driven by a life in poverty, Duroy’s chance encounter with old army colleague Charles Forestier (Philip Glenister) leads him into higher social circles and a job as a newspaper writer (despite being barely literate).
