The Red and the Black (1993)
Stendahl's brilliant satirical portrait of post-Revolutionary French society, now in a new adaptation for the state. From the garden of a small provincial town to the dazzling salons of Paris, THE RED AND THE BLACK is the sweeping tale of Julian Sorel, a handsome young tutor determined to climb the social ladder despite his lowly birth. Burning with ambition, Julian sacrifices love and ideals for money and power - but is hopelessly captive of his own romantic soul.
