Overview (TMDB): | Alan Bleasdale's modern re-telling of Madame Bovary. A tale of passion, greed, revenge, and of course pleasure, set in France. Starring Line of Duty's Adrian Dunbar, Jennifer Ehle and James Larkin. In the French city of Rouen, the beautiful, young but bored Emma seeks to escape her dull married life. Her dreams are answered, and her comfortable, peaceful existence soon tarnished when she answers a lonely-hearts ad. She meets Gustave, a unsuccessful toy salesman, and potential con man. Together they begin a passionate affair, where they indulge in illicit sex and illegal scams. But parallel to their exhilarating affair, the police are on the hunt for a mysterious masked robber known only as Le Terroriste. As the stakes rise, and a betrayal means Emma finding herself alone, her own talents for deception develop into an overwhelming and obsessive desire for her to get her revenge. |

Jennifer smokes all-whites in a remarkable total of 14 scenes. In one, she is about to light up, but her husband removes the cigarette from her mouth, kisses her, and replaces it between her lips. As she lights it, her mother-in-law switches on the ventilator, but as she leaves the room, Jennifer turns it off again to inhale another drag. Another scene shows her lighting two cigarettes, one at a time, for herself and her lover. Since she is standing in front of a mirror, we see her with four cigarettes between her fingers. There's also a nice scene where she dangles an unlit long cigarette and talks at the same time. The final shot has her lover lighting himself a cigarette in the car, but she grabs it for herself. It could have been so much better though - her inhales do not particularly inspire and her exhales are generally not visible. |
