Next Showing – Sunday January 11 at 7:30 –> The Duchess

“When she appears, all eyes are turned toward her. She is the subject of universal conversation and what we see her wearing tonight, I look forward to seeing the rest of you wearing tomorrow….” – The Duchess

The highly anticipated screen adaptation of Amanda Forman’s bestselling 1998 novel, Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire, which was a Gala screening at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival®, stars A-listers Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement) and Ralph Fiennes (The Constant Gardener, In Bruges) assuming the glamorous lead roles of Duke and Duchess.

While truly the “It” girl of eighteenth-century England, the hedonistic Spencer’s life was quietly beset by strife and controversy. Recreational drug use, eating disorders and a fierce gambling addiction pursued her until her death in 1806 at the age of forty-nine. The film adaptation brings Forman’s controversial biography to life in all its vividness.
