Isabelle Adjani returns to the screen for a libertine's downfall — and it's messy.
Seville, 1766. Count Almaviva falls in love with a young woman called Rosina, who lives under the tutelage of the old doctor Bartolo. Thanks to the help of his servant Figaro, the count seduces Rosina and marries her. Three years later, Count Almaviva returned to being the libertine he was.
Acting
Adjani's 17-year screen return is the whole reason.
Production
Lavish 18th-century sets that scream French TV budget.
Director
Jacques Weber
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Isabelle Adjani's first film since 1999's 'La Repentie.' She reportedly only agreed due to her friendship with Jacques Weber.
Based on Beaumarchais' third Figaro play, which Mozart never adapted — making this the 'forgotten' sequel to operatic canon.
