Tess of the D’Urbervilles
Violated by
one man, forsaken by another, Tess Durbeyfield is the magnificent and
spirited heroine of Thomas Hardy's heartbreaking novel. Set in
England's West Country in the late 1800s, the two part miniseries stars
Gemma Arterton (James Bond: Quantum of Solace
) as Tess, joined by Hans Matheson (Dr. Zhivago
) as her seducer, Alec, and Eddie Redmayne (Elizabeth: The Golden Age
) as Angel, the idealistic and self-deserving man she loves.
