Rating:
In Roman_Polanski's adaptation of Thomas Hardy's -Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Nastassja_Kinski plays Tess, a poor British peasant girl sent to live with her distant and wealthy relatives, the D'Urbervilles. Though Tess' father had hoped that the girl would be permitted a portion of the D'Urberville riches, he is in for a major disappointment: Tess' new housemates are not D'Urbervilles at all, but a social-climbing family that has bought the name. Tess won three Oscars, including a "Best Cinematography" statuette for the late Geoffrey_Unsworth and his successor Ghislain_Cloquet. The film also served to catapult Nastassja_Kinski to stardom.
