A young woman's obsessive pursuit of wealth and prestige leads her on a scandalous journey toward her ultimate destruction in MADAME BOVARY. Award-winning actress Isabelle Huppert gives a superb performance as the beautiful Emma Bovary, a woman possessed by a burning hunger for life and love - and a passion that can never be fulfilled. Feeling trapped in a loveless marriage, Emma indulges herself in a lifestyle of reckless overspending and a series of shocking affairs which threaten to destroy her - and everyone around her. Nominated for a 1991 Academy Award® for Best Costume Design, director Claude Chabrol has created a visually stunning, brilliantly acted masterpiece from the legendary best-selling novel by Gustave Flaubert.
