Bel Ami
Paris, 1890s. Handsome, smart, charismatic and resourceful, George Duroy (Pattinson), known to his friends as “Bel Ami”, is offered a job as a journalist on the newspaper La Vie Francaise and soon makes a great success of his new career. But he also comes face to face with the realities of the corrupt Parisian high society to which he aspires: the sleazy colleagues, the wily financiers, and manipulative mistresses.
He swiftly learns to become an arch seducer and blackmailer, in a world where love is only a means to an end. He will stop at nothing to move into the high echelons of Paris society. Duroy will seduce, manipulate and charm the most powerful and beautiful.
Critic Reviews:
- " [Robert] Pattison does step beyond Twilight and give us a bit more depth, not to mention some nice ass, er, ass work. " – Debbie Lynn Elias
- " Robert Pattinson fits right into this material – a blistering critique of a man who can't overcome his self-hatred. " – Robert Levin
- " What distinguishes Pattinson in the role is the sense he conveys of someone roiling and churning beneath a surface that is almost, but not quite, calm. " – Mick LaSalle
