Balzac: A Life of Passion

Gérard Depardieu -- cast partly for his resemblance to Rodin's sculpture of Honoré de Balzac -- plays the French literary genius in this miniseries that focuses on Balzac's troubled relationships with women and how they inspired his greatest works. Jeanne Moreau plays Balzac's cold and overcritical mother; Virna Lisa is his high-society lover; and Fanny Ardent is Countess Eve Hanska, the married noblewoman for whom Balzac pined.- Netflix
