Trishna (Freida Pinto) lives a meager existence with her large family in a village in Rajasthan. It's tragic, but not unnecessarily so we understand the gravity of the situation, and we recognize that the conclusion is inescapable. "Trishna," a modernized retelling that shifts the setting to India, is very much like "Tess" in that it tells the story of an innocent young woman whose life is ultimately destroyed by love, societal values, unfortunate turns of events, and above all, male dominance. This would be Roman Polanski's "Tess," a romantic melodrama that, like the novel, was set in Victorian England. The next adaptation, however, was well preserved even before its American premiere in 1980. Michael Winterbottom's "Trishna" is the fourth theatrical adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 1891 novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles." The first two adaptations, silent films released in 19 respectively, have since been declared lost.
