You can watch Madame Bovary (1991) for free on Kanopy.

In 19th-century France, doctor's wife Emma Bovary seeks to escape her dull provincial life through various extramarital affairs and extravagant spending, leading to tragic consequences.

Lush, suffocating velvet textures and sun-drenched French landscapes frame a desperate hunger for sensation. This portrait of romantic obsession captures the slow, quiet rot of a woman drowning in her own expensive fantasies.
