Based on Stendhal

Directed by: Véronique Daniel. With: Véronique Daniel. Stendhal's undeniable masterpiece, a novel of ambition and already of class struggle, with a literary style of great beauty.

Le rouge et le noir or the memoirs of Julien Sorel. The story unfolds through the character of Madame de Rénal, who discovers Julien's hypothetical memoirs written during his time in prison. She brings to life the pathetic destiny of this romantic hero, seductive and consumed by ambition, with whom she was madly in love. A demanding and subtle dramatic construction that keeps us on the edge of our seats from beginning to end: passion, adultery, filial love, the power of morality and the nobility of feelings against a romantic and lyrical backdrop very characteristic of 19th-century literature. A major and essential work whose adaptation and staging scrupulously respect the author's style.
