Tess - Dual Format Edition (Blu-Ray and DVD)

Superb restoration of Roman Polanski’s acclaimed 1979 adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s classic 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles'. This is the first time that 'Tess' has been available in High Definition anywhere in the world.

Nastassia Kinski stars as Tess, a strong-willed, working-class girl who discovers that she has title connections by way of her old aristocratic surname and who is raped by her wealthy cousin, whose right to the family title may not be as strong as he claims.

Filmed in Brittany, this multi-award-winning epic was the most expensive French film of its time, and features at its heart an unforgettable, career-defining performance by the 17-year-old Kinski.

• Tess: From Novel to Screen.
