Les enfants du siècle (The Children of the Century): The only thing more outrageous than French novelist George Sand's torrid love affair with the decadent author Alfred de Musset and her affinity for wearing men's clothing, was the content of her writing. Though Sand (otherwise known as the Baroness Dudevant) smoked cigars and cross-dressed, it was the boldness of her writing on issues such as the abstinence of marriage and women's frigidity that most contributed to the scandalous reputation she earned in French literary circles. When she met Alfred de Musset, the most gifted poet of his generation, the two quickly became a public cause celebrity while their work would go on to become some of the finest examples of 19th century romanticism. Stars: Juliette Binoche, Benoît Magimel and Stefano Dionisi. Watch the trailer below, and the film via YouTube in French, or several versions subtitled in English on PutLocker, uFliq or SockShare.Wednesday, April 11
