Bel Ami

Paris, 1880s. Exceptionally handsome, smart, charismatic and resourceful, Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson) - known to his friends as Bel Ami - is offered a job as a journalist on scandal newspaper La Vie Francaise and soon makes a great success of his new career, ascending the ranks from lowly reporter to chief editor. But he also comes face to face with the realities of the corrupt Parisien high society in which he lives: the sleazy colleagues, the wily financiers and manipulative mistresses and swiftly learns to become an arch-seducer, blackmailer and unscrupulous social climber in a world where love is only a means to an end.
