THE DUCHESS Keira Knightley stars in this beautiful drama as Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, a glamorous 18th century socialite known for her style and political activism. (She was a prime supporter of the forward-looking Whig party.) When she pushed to make her way in her own personal life, however, the resulting controversies and convoluted liaisons pushed her to the brink of banishment from London society. With excellent supporting work from Ralph Fiennes. |
