Tess

- This item is used Description When Tom Hardy's novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" was published in 1891, it caused a huge sensation and at the same time challenged the Victorian moralists. The work has been adapted into 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 beguiling Tess, who, by fate's whim, has her entire sad life transformed. Her alcoholic father learns one day that he has noble origins. He sends his daughter to the aristocratic relatives in hopes they will take care of her. She becomes a sensation in the refined salons, but her past always catches up with her, and a gripping drama that encompasses love, infidelity, betrayal and murder begins...
