Tess (film)
Tess is a 1979 drama film directed by Roman Polanski, an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 1891 novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles. It tells the story of a country girl descended from a noble line who, when she makes contact with the apparent head of the family, is seduced and left pregnant. After her baby dies, she meets a man who abandons her on their wedding night when she confesses her past. Desperate, she returns to her seducer and murders him. The screenplay was written by Gérard Brach, John Brownjohn, and Roman Polanski. The film won three Academy Award Oscars out of a total of six Oscar nominations.
Plot
The story takes place in Thomas Hardy's Wessex during the Victorian period.
Its events are set in motion when a clergyman, Parson Tringham, has a conversation with a simple farmer, John Durbeyfield. Tringham is a local historian; in the course of his research, he has discovered that the "Durbeyfields" are descended from the d'Urbervilles, a noble family whose lineage extends to the time of William the Conqueror. It is useless knowledge, as the family lost its land and prestige when the male heirs died out. The parson thinks Durbeyfield might like to know his origins as a passing historical curiosity.

Tess
by: RaphaelTess me dit: veux-tu m'embrasser?
Tess me dit: pourquoi me regardes-tu?
J'ai une épine dans le cœur
On ne m'a pas réveillée
J'ai grandi tout juste à côté des autres
Tess me dit: je crois que je suis malade
Je n'aime pas cette ville
Qui ne comprend rien aux oiseaux
Tess me dit: il est plus tard que tu ne penses
J'ai grandi tout juste au milieu des autres
Je vais regarder la lune par-dessus ton épaule
Je vais regarder la vie me faire vieillir
Crois-tu que je m'en sortirais
Si je te tournais le dos,
Si je te tournais le dos?
Tess me dit de ne pas m'attacher
Tess me dit: cette nuit je n'vais pas rêver
Je m'attendais à tellement mieux
J'ai tout essayé
J'ai tout essayé
Je vais regarder la lune par-dessus ton épaule
Je vais regarder la vie me faire vieillir
Crois-tu que je m'en sortirais
Un peu plus tard, un peu plus tôt,
