Lucrezia Borgia (French: Lucrèce Borgia) is a 1935 French historical film directed by Abel Gance and starring Edwige Feuillère, Gabriel Gabrio and Maurice Escande.[1] It was shot at the Saint-Maurice Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Henri Ménessier and René Renoux. Feuillère's performance was widely acclaimed by critics, and significantly boosted her career.[2]
The scheming Cesar Borgia, son of Pope Alexander, plans to marry his sister Lucrezia off to boost his own power in Italy. However, she has her own ideas.
