Rebecca

The film begins with a voiceover of a woman speaking the first lines from the novel: "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again", to the images of a ruined country manor. She continues that she can never return to Manderley — as it no longer exists, except as a ruin.

A self-conscious bride is tormented by the memory of her husband's dead first wife.

Rebecca raconte à son frère sa visite dans une caverne fantastique…

A shy ladies' companion, staying in Monte Carlo with her stuffy employer, meets the wealthy Maxim de Winter. She and Max fall in love, marry and return to Manderley, his large country estate in Cornwall. Max is still troubled by the death of his first wife, Rebecca, in a boating accident the year before. The second Mrs. de Winter clashes with the housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, and discovers that Rebecca still has a strange hold on everyone at Manderley.

Rebecca was named Best Picture of the year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1940, but chances are it could win any year. This brilliant adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's celebrated novel won virtually every accolade imaginable, including two Academy Awards and nine other nominations. Thanks to the masterful direction of Alfred Hitchcock, this all-time cinema classic is as chilling and dramatic today as when it first released. A timid young ladies companion (Joan Fontaine) is on vacation where she meets the handsome and wealthy widower Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier), whose wife Rebecca had recently died in a boating accident. The two fall in love, and once married, the new Mrs. De Winter returns to the Winter estate to find that Rebecca still has a strange hold on everyone there.
