The Duchess





I finally got around to watching this 2008 movie. What a joy. You have some idea of what to expect when Ralph Fiennes is in a movie, but Keira Knightley may surprise you with this nuanced performance.

She is best known as the feisty damsel in distress in those silly PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies. She was also excellent in ATONEMENT - another well-done film but one with a very sad narrative.
