Gyaan Adab invites you to the screening of this film, which marks the continuation of a series of films presented by the British Council that will showcase an exciting range of British cinema.

London, 1802: Born to poor parents, Becky Sharp (Reese Witherspoon) has always aspired to be a member of England’s upper classes. Leaving her boarding school and best friend, behind, Becky associates herself with the Crawleys, eventually falling in love with their son, Rawdon. The marriage is happy at first, but deteriorates when Rawdon’s fortune dwindles. Becky is then supported by the lecherous Marquess of Steyne- whose motives are less than pure.

Nominated for ‘Golden Lion’ Award in 2004 Venice Film Festival, the film expertly portrays Thackeray’s witty assessment of the British class system with the help of some serious star power in this period comedy drama.
