BBC Two - Therese Desqueyroux

An isolated woman (Audret Tatou) becomes trapped in a marriage she didn't want.

Drama about an independent woman who marries in the belief she wants a normal life and that marriage will change her, but who becomes increasingly stifled by her circumstances.

In 1920s Landes, France, Therese Larroque, a thoughtful and independent young woman, marries her best friend's brother in the belief she wants a normal life and that marriage will change her. Becoming increasingly stifled by her husband and his family, she longs for a more intellectually and emotionally stimulating life, leading ultimately to actions that bring scandal upon the family.

In French with English subtitles.
