When the distinguished Moli\u00e8re (Bernard Giraudeau) and his theatre troupe come to town, Marquise mesmerises the men, especially the lead actor, nicknamed Gros Ren\u00e9, (Patrick Timsit), who falls in love with her and asks for her hand in marriage. She agrees on condition that she joins the group to become an actress. Gros Ren\u00e9 is deeply in love with his wife, and even accepts her on-going infidelities, until she meets Jean Racine (Lambert Wilson), while they are performing for King Louis XIV and his court. Although flirtatious in manner, Marquise carries honour and integrity in her heart. Following Racine\u2019s coaching, Marquise\u2019s acting talents improve dramatically, and she is at last able to perform the leading dramatic role in his play Andromaque.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/athome.fandango.com\/content\/browse\/details\/Marquise\/1068802?cmp=rt_where_to_watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARQUISE | 1997\u00a0 \u2013 116\u2032 \u2013 A France\/Italy\/Spain Co-Production.
