Academy Award nominees Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes star in The Duchess, the compelling story of the life of 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, an ancestor of Princess Diana who was alternately celebrated and reviled for her extravagant political and personal life. From Georgiana's passionate and doomed affair with Earl Grey to the complex ménage à trois with her husband and their best friend, The Duchess is a very contemporary tale of fame, notoriety and the search for love that won acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
