Balzac
Cast partly because of his resemblance to Rodin's sculpture of the writer, Gérard Depardieu plays French literary genius Honoré de Balzac in this miniseries made for French TV. The program focuses on Balzac's troubled relationships with women and how those relationships 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 he pined.
