Andrea Chénier, also spelled Andrea Chenier, is a 1955 Italian drama film directed by Clemente Fracassi.

It is loosely based on the eponymous 1896 opera by Umberto Giordano.

Synopsis

Pendant une chasse à courre, André Chénier, secrétaire à l'ambassade de Londres et Madeleine de Coigny font connaissance. Après quelques remarques cinglantes de la jeune noble au poète roturier, c'est le grand amour. Le palefrenier Gérard, dont la famille sert les Coigny de père en fils est jaloux. Le père de la jeune fille, le comte de Coigny, très fier de sa noblesse s'oppose à leur amour. Dès les premiers mouvements révolutionnaires, Chénier revient à Paris. Gérard, acquis aux idées nouvelles, arrive trop tard pour empêcher le départ de ses anciens maîtres. Il se lance à leur poursuite.

Elevé au rang de peintre fétiche de la cour du roi Charles IV d'Espagne, Francisco de Goya jouit d'une excellente réputation. S'il a foi dans l'Eglise et la royauté, Goya est aussi un patriote d'origine modeste, attaché au peuple. Homme de contradictions, il nourrit une passion dévorante pour la duchesse Alba, tout en désapprouvant sa morgue aristocratique. Goya traduit ces états d'âme dans des oeuvres singulières, qui paraîtront plus tard d'une grande modernité. A mesure qu'avance son «apprentissage» politique, ses toiles perdent leurs couleurs chatoyantes pour aborder un univers plus sombre et plus radical, jusqu'à s'attirer les foudres du Grand Inquisiteur...

The two first meet when she is visiting his island estate with her husband James, the charismatic Senator from the state of Massachusetts.

As the plot unfolds, Theo's beloved son Nico dies in an accident, his wife Simi commits suicide, James becomes President and appoints his brother John Attorney General, and Theo ends his affair with Paola to comfort and eventually marry grieving widow Liz.
