Synopsis:

The Bronte Sisters is a 1979 French drama film directed by André Téchiné. It tells the story of the famous Brontë siblings. The film was written by Téchiné with the collaboration of Pascal Bonitzer and Jean Gruault. The cinematography was by Bruno Nuytten. It was a project that Téchiné wanted to make since 1972, but only after the favorable reception of Souvenirs d'en France and Barocco, he was able to find the necessary financing. Produced by Gaumont, the film's originally running time was cut from three to less than two hours upon its release at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival. The film stars Isabelle Adjani as Emily, Marie-France Pisier as Charlotte and Isabelle Huppert as Anne. Pascal Greggory plays their brother Branwell Brontë. The plot centers around the sister's somber relationship with Branwell. It is set in a careful recreation of the period.

Emily (Adjani), Charlotte (Pisier), and Anne (Huppert) eke out a drab existence in Victorian England while caring for their troubled, opium-addicted brother. Téchiné's sensitive biopic, starring three of French cinema's finest actresses, poignantly contrasts the sisters' humdrum lives with the wildly romantic fantasies that they conjured in their extraordinary novels.

The life story of the tragic Bronte family.
