Full Plot Details

An episodic look at Grace Elliott (1760-1823) and Philippe, the Duke of Orleans, during the French Revolution. In 1790, they are friends, no longer lovers. He suggests she leave France, she warns him to quit the Revolution. In 1792, she must escape Paris on foot. Less than a month later, she returns on an errand of mercy and shows great courage saving the governor of Tuileries. The Duke in turn steps in to protect Grace. In early 1793, she demands a promise from the Duke that he vote to spare Louis's life; he does not, and Grace is furious. In April, he warns her of a search; she is arrested and brought before the committee. Orleans, too, is suspect. The guillotine awaits.

Movie Reviews

Oregonian - 9/10 by Shawn LevyAn instance of an old dog not only learning but inventing a remarkable new trick.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 8/10 by Laura KellyRohmer makes a gracious, if occasionally tedious, effort to dress the French Revolution in digitally rendered scenes that bespeak the period perfectly.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThough not one of Rohmer best films, it's worth seeing for the acting and the dialogue which magnify the glory of the French language. Amazingly, at 81, Rohmer continues to be productive; rejection of film by Cannes Festival stirred controversy in 2001
PopMatters - 8/10 by John DemetryMy problem with The Lady and the Duke is not Rohmer's ostensibly pro-Royalist politics, but his now reactionary aesthetics.
eye WEEKLY - 8/10 by Jason AndersonNot only has Rohmer reinvented the costume drama with The Lady and the Duke, he makes the case that the genre is worth reinventing.
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Liz BraunWatching The Lady And The Duke is like looking at a really fine play.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Geoff PevereNothing short of a technical marvel and a ravishing movie to look at.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Hazel-Dawn DumpertAs always, conversation is the constant threading together Rohmer's stately pace and episodic structure, the thing he uses to show us who his characters are and what their friendship entails.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertAn elegant story about an elegant woman, told in an elegant visual style. It moves too slowly for those with impaired attention spans, but is fascinating in its style and mannerisms.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekTalky, artificial and opaque...an interesting technical exercise, but a tedious picture.
