Duchess of Langeais, The

After a despondent French general (Guillaume Depardieu) and wounded Napoleonic war hero finds his once flirtatious beloved (Jeanne Balibar) hiding at a cloistered nunnery on the Isle of Majorca in 1823 in this somber, slow-moving French film based on a Honoré de Balzac novel, he recounts their initial meeting in Paris 5 years earlier and the mind games and teasing that ultimately destroyed their relationship.
