Bel Ami is based on the 1885 novel of the same name written by Guy de Maupassant. It is the story of George Duroy (Robert Pattinson), an impoverished young ex-soldier who, shrewdly succeeds in manoeuvring his way into a higher social class and a vastly improved financial status. Making the most of his mesmerizingly attractive natural attributes, his irresistible charm and overwhelmingly powerful art of seduction, he is able to worm his way into the affections of the lonely, unsuspecting wives of some of 1890's Paris's most important and influential men.
By... this means he is able to gain social acceptance and manages to slowly claw his way up the social ladder of Parisian high society. His plan is coldly premeditated and callously mercenary and he will stop at nothing to realise his ambition. Betrayal, deceit, corruption and destruction mean nothing to him as he ruthlessly engineers his meteoric rise to the top. Bel Ami also stars Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci.
