Synopsis
The Science of Seduction
A true love story.
http://www.tllewis.net/beyond-reason
Based on the life and love of Emilie Du Chatelet, and the famous, witty writer/philosopher, Voltaire. A humorous, and timeless glimpse at the polarity and passions of men and women. A tribute to all who know the ups and downs of true love and for those who do not quite fit into the norms of society. A true love story with a balance of passion and philosophy, science and the 'science of seduction'.
Emilie was known for her "amorous nature" and her brilliant mind and best remembered as the woman who conquered the heart of Voltaire. Voltaire himself knew she was more, and celebrated her as a "great and powerful genius," his equal. Emilie's most significant work came from this slice of her life - a prolific period that she and Voltaire spent, often alone together, at her country chateau in the times when the best minds of the time, came to visit.
Wish List: Vanessa Paradis as Emilie
Voltaire received his education at a Jesuit college in Paris where he said he learned nothing but "Latin and the Stupidities." His humorous verses made him a favorite in society circles and his sharp wit often got him into trouble with the authorities. "Every man is guilty of the good he did not do."
Wish List: Johnny Depp as Voltaire
