About
"When the beautiful and innocent Tess Durbeyfield (Arterton) is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles, she falls into the clutches of the manipulative and fraudulent D'Urbervilles son, Alec (Matheson). A very different man, Angel Clare (Redmayne), seems to offer Tess love and salvation, but she must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent. A thrilling story of seduction, love and betrayal unfolds. Unstintingly gorgeous and romantic, this new adaptation is an intense, moving and provocative depiction of Hardy's tragically beautiful story."--Container.
