Director
Saul Dibb takes the helm for this
period drama adapted from
Amanda Foreman's best-selling novel
Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, documenting the romantic entanglements of
Georgiana Cavendish (
Keira Knightley), a beautiful and clever woman who becomes a celebrity of British high society when she marries the
Duke of Devonshire (
Ralph Fiennes) and becomes consort to one of the most powerful men in England. Beloved for her trend-setting fashion designs as well as her political activism,
Georgiana's fire and wit make her a beloved figure everywhere but her own home, where her cold and distant husband's control over her is stifling, soon sending her into the arms of a another man -- an act that soon forces her to learn about the brutal difference in the rights afforded to 18th century men and women.
