Julien Sorel, the ambitious son of a carpenter in the village of Verrières, would rather read and daydream about the glorious victories of Napoleon’s long-disbanded army than work in his father’s timber business with his brothers, who beat him for his intellectual pretensions. Despite his rocky relationships at home, the young man has a wild romantic life: He has an affair with the mayor’s wife and later falls in love with the daughter of a marquis. This French musical offers viewers stunning musical scores and enchanting visuals, as well as a look at the rigid religious and social structures of 19th-century France.
