Bel Ami

In 1890s Paris, a penniless former soldier uses his wit and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, charming wealthy women who see him as a rising star in the world of journalism and politics. As he navigates the city's salons and clubs, Georges Duroy must use all his charm to keep up appearances while pursuing his own interests and desires. With a world where sex is power and celebrity an obsession, this stylish drama follows one man's meteoric rise to the top - but at what cost?
