Pride & Prejudice’s Rupert Friend just can’t keep away from those period costumes – no sooner is he out of Prince Albert’s costume for The Young Victoria, he’s jumping into the britches of Cheri for Stephen Frears.
The plot revolves around the title character (Friend) a spoiled, rich French whelp sent by his mum (Kathy Bates) to get a little adult education with courtesan best mate Lea de Lonval (Michelle Pfeiffer). But they fall in love, only to be cruelly torn apart when Cheri has to marry someone else.
