"The Triumph of Love" is a 2001 romantic comedy film, based on Marivaux's play "Le Triomphe de l'Amour" (1732), directed by Clare Peploe, produced by her husband Bernardo Bertolucci, and starring Mira Sorvino and Ben Kingsley. The play has also been made into a musical, "Triumph of Love".

In an unidentified country in 18th century Europe, an usurper's daughter (Mira Sorvino) has inherited the throne and feels guilty about her family's crimes. She learns that the rightful heir, Agis (Jay Rodan), exists but has been taught to hate her and reject all love. She falls in love with him at her first sight of him, but he is kept in seclusion by a brother (Ben Kingsley) and sister (Fiona Shaw) to protect him from her. To get close enough to Agis, she must embark on a series of bribes, deceptions, and seductions.
