The Duchess of Langeais is a 2007 French film directed by Jacques Rivette.

Synopsis

L'histoire se passe sous la Restauration. Le général de Montriveau est épris de la duchesse de Langeais, une coquette qui se refuse à lui et qui disparaît. Aidé par les puissants Treize, sorte de franc-maçonnerie aux pouvoirs occultes, il la poursuit jusqu'à un monastère espagnol où elle s'est réfugiée sous le nom de sœur Thérèse. Là, elle accepte de le recevoir en présence de la mère supérieure à qui elle fait croire que cet homme est son frère. Mais au dernier moment, elle avoue sa faute en même temps que son amour longtemps caché pour Montriveau.

The film begins with Julie sitting on a park bench reading a book of magic spells when a woman (Céline) walks past, and begins dropping (à la Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit) various possessions. Julie begins picking them up, and tries to follow Céline around Paris, sometimes at a great pace (for instance, sprinting up Montmartre to keep pace with Céline's tram). After adventures following Céline around the Parisian streets — at one point it looks as if they have gone their separate ways, never to meet up again — Céline finally decides to move in with Julie. There are incidents of identity swapping, with Céline pretending to be Julie to meet the latter's childhood sweetheart, for example, and Julie attempting to fill in for Céline at a cabaret audition.
