Le Rempart des béguines is a film directed by Guy Casaril. The original screenplay of the film was written as a novel in 1951 by the Belgian author Françoise Mallet-Joris, while the film adaptation was released in September 20, 1972. The literary publication was Mallet-Jorris' debut in her publishing works, and the plot centers around a stage that is reminiscent of her native hometown of Antwerp and addresses the themes of social class and korephilia. The film denotes a lesbian drama that lasts roughly ninety minutes and has two women, Anicée Alvina and Nicole Courcel as its principal actresses.[1] Alvina roleplays as Helena, a 15 year old schoolgirl who lives with her wealthy father Max (played by Venantino Venantini) and misses her dead mother. Helena is later seduced by her father's former mistress and then girlfriend Tamara (played by Courcel) who takes advantage of the young teen's loneliness through manipulation and simultaneously enters an engagement with Max.[2]
