"Robert Pattinson Brings A Credible Complexity To Georges Duroy"

The year is 1890 and a young soldier, Georges Duroy, returns to France from the battlefields of Algeria. He's played by Twilight's Robert Pattinson, who revels in the opportunity to shed his pin-up image and embark on a bonk-a-thon through the Parisian elite.
(Kate: {giggles} Bonk-a-thon, I couldn't have put it better)Pattinson's most famous screen character Edward Cullen may sustain himself on blood, but there's something equally vampiric about his portrayal of Duroy - a man with cold, darting eyes whose unquenchable thirst is for power and status. Driven by a life in poverty, Duroy's chance encounter with old army colleague Charles Forestier (Philip Glenister) leads him into higher social circles and a job as a newspaper writer (despite being barely literate).
His brooding charisma and striking looks quickly make him a favourite among the wives of the influential (who christen him 'Bel Ami'), and before long he's leaping into a love nest with Clotilde (Christina Ricci). The death of Charles leads Georges to marry Madeleine (Uma Thurman), but when his new bride proves to be equally as devious and conniving, his eye begins to wander to Virginie (Kristin Scott Thomas) and her newspaper-owner husband Rousset (Colm Meaney).
