Madame Bovary

If you have read Emma Bovary then you would know this is not a love story, it is not a story about passion, it is the portrait of a young a naive middle class woman who is disappointed by the banality of her marriage and life in a small provincial town. She is a self-centred brat with no insight into her life and others. Her religious education has not equipped her mentally nor intellectually for real life and real relationships. She will drive her husband to bankruptcy and herself to madness. This movie is NOT an accurate representation of what Flaubert's book is about.
