This stunning and provocative period tale is adapted from the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, with Reese Witherspoon starring as Rebecca (Becky) Sharp. Set in post-colonial England, and filmed on location in the UK and India, the epic explores an enormous panorama of themes - unrequited love, seduction through song, a mother's sacrifice for her child, a true gentleman in a corrupt world - while Becky Sharp uses her wit, guile and sexuality to clamber up the social ladder of London society. September 2004 release.
