Le Rouge et le Noir — La série

Réalisé par Gaël Morel. Production : Georges-Marc Benamou. Diffusion : France 2.

Chef-d’œuvre de Stendhal paru en 1830, Le Rouge et le Noir s’offre une nouvelle vie sur France 2 dans une adaptation en série signée par le réalisateur Gaël Morel. L’histoire suit Julien Sorel, fils de charpentier ambitieux qui, sous la Restauration française, tente de s’élever au-dessus de sa condition par la séduction, l’intelligence et l’opportunisme — rêvant tantôt d’une carrière militaire dans l’ombre de Napoléon, tantôt d’une vocation religieuse.

Roman d’initiation autant que roman politique, l’œuvre explore avec une acuité toujours moderne les tensions entre classes sociales et les jeux de pouvoir amoureux, dans une France en pleine recomposition. Un casting prestigieux — Victor Belmondo, Virginie Ledoyen, Camille Razat, Patrick Timsit — et une bande originale signée Les Garçons viennent servir ce grand classique avec l’ambition qu’il mérite.
