The Aristocrats (1955)

Directed by Denys de La Patellière

Overview

A novel by Michel De Saint Pierre was the source for Les Aristocrates. Pierre Fresnay stars an aging Marquis, who tries his best to uphold the traditions of nobility in an ever-changing world. The Marquis’ children prefer the trappings of modern society and pop culture and regard their father as a relic. This cultural clash nearly results in tragedy when two of the Marquis’ offspring substitute recklessness for common sense.

Length 100 minutes
