Description
Release Date: 03 November 2008
The White Countess takes place in the glamorous, corrupt and boomtown atmosphere of 1930s Shanghai. Two-time oscar-nominee Ralph Fiennes (1997, Best Actor, The English Patient; 1994 Best Supporting Actor, Schindler's List) stars as Todd Jackson, a diplomat blinded in a bombing. An encounter with Sophia (Natasha Richardson, Maid in Manhattan), an exiled countess employed as a bar girl, inspires him to open his own club, but only if she will work for him. Sophia's in-laws, played by the Redgrave sisters, greedily pocket her income, but denounce her as a bad influence on her daughter. When Japanese troops invade the city, a mass exodus ensues. Alone and afraid, Sophia clings to the only hope left to her - finding her missing daughter!
