The Marquise of O (German: Die Marquise von O...) is a 1976 film directed by Éric Rohmer. Set in 1799, it tells the story of the Marquise von O, a virtuous widow, who finds herself pregnant and protests her innocence while possibly deserving to be exiled. The film was inspired by Heinrich von Kleist's 1808 novella Die Marquise von O. The film won the Grand Prix Spécial Prize at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival.

Synopsis

The story begins in a tavern, where two men are reading an announcement in the paper written by the Marquise of O saying that she is pregnant and wishes for the father of her child to present himself in order to marry him. The men are rather shocked by this announcement because she comes from an excellent family and her father is in charge of the citadel of their Italian town.
