Moll Flanders 1993

Based on the novel by Daniel Defoe

An adulteress, bigamist, thief and whore, Moll Flanders' checkered past has finally caught up with her and she now finds herself in Newgate Prison surrounded by an assortment of criminals: including a prophetic half-wit, a hollow-eyed consumptive, a devastated mother grieving the death of her baby, an opportunistic rogue, a dangerous madwoman with a maternal obsession, a vindictive young prostitute, and an aging gentleman clinging desperately to his respectability. As Moll recounts her sordid tale, her fellow prisoners each assume roles that bring Moll’s scandalous story to life.
