Studio Canal will release on Blu-ray directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod's Bel Ami (2012), starring Robert Pattinson, Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, and Kristin Scott Thomas. The preliminary release date set by the studio is July 23rd.
Based on the 1885 novel of the same name by Guy de Maupassant, Bel Ami is the story of Georges Duroy, who travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute's embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.
