I would love to see it too! In fact, the title is in my language, I don't know the original title. The movie is with Nastassia Kinski, she was very young in that time of course, and the man is Leigh Lawson. It was directed by Roman Polanski. I will traslate - It's (Tess - A lesson of life) I think there is a new version with Justine Waddell, I have not whatched that.
