The Baroness and the Pig is a Canadian drama film, directed by Michael Mackenzie and released in 2002. Based on Mackenzie's own stage play, the film stars Patricia Clarkson as The Baroness, a Quaker woman from Philadelphia who moves to Paris with her husband, The Baron in the 1880s; however, her egalitarian ideals conflict with the elitism of Parisian society, particularly when she launches a plan to rehabilitate and bring into society a wild girl who was raised in a pig sty, leading The Duchess to attempt to engineer The Baroness's downfall.
