Tess

- This item is in original packaging Description When Tom Hardy’s novel Tess of the d’Urbervilles was published in 1891, it caused a great sensation and at the same time challenged the Victorian moralists. The work has been adapted to film five times, but never as successfully as in Polanski’s version. The film won three Oscars and was nominated for three more, including Best Picture and Best Director. Nastassja Kinski had her big breakthrough here as the young, poor and enchanting Tess, who, by fortune’s whim, sees her whole sad life change. Her alcoholic father learns one day that he is of noble descent. He sends his daughter to the aristocratic relatives in the hope they will take care of her. She becomes a sensation in the refined salons, but her past continually catches up with her and a gripping drama that includes love, infidelity, deceit and murder begins...
