Moll Flanders
1996
Moll Flanders, born in Newgate Prison, makes her way through 17th-century English society by her wits — marrying multiple times, turning to theft, and being transported to America — before finally achieving respectability and reunion. This adaptation of Defoe's picaresque novel follows Moll's determined survival across a world stacked against women.
