Sadly not, although that would be markedly more interesting than this raunchy nonsense about a hopeless journalist, Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson), rapaciously seducing his way up the social ladder in 1890s Paris. Kristin Scott Thomas (below, too good for this rot), Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci gamely play the seduced society women, while a one-note Pattinson fails to convince in this hollow adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's novella.
