Synopsis

Thomas Hardy's immortal tale of love abandoned and virtue lost has captivated readers for over a century. Now the unforgettable intensity and tenderness of this treasured classic comes to life in a lavish adaptation.

Her luminous beauty blazing against the bleak background of rural Victorian England, Tess Durbeyfield is one of literature's best-loved and most memorable heroines. Violated by one man and forsaken by another, she refuses to remain a victim. But her struggle to endure despite the abandonment of her true love--and her desperate attempt to attain happiness--propel Tess toward a tragic end.

Powered by brilliant performances from rising star Justine Waddell (Anna Karenina) and a veteran supporting cast, Tess of the D'Urbervilles captures the harsh realism and poignant beauty of a true masterpiece.
