I am not usually a fan of romantic films. This one however, is one of my favorites. Perhaps the historical setting and the unusual amount of bloodletting, fighting and the fact that the romance wasn't treated the sappiest fashion curbed my blood sugar levels.
This film is superbly acted, shot and has the most amazing soundtrack.
Based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas, Queen Margot concerns the events behind infamous Massacre of St. Bartholomew in 16th-century France. Isabelle Adjani plays Margot, betrothed for political reasons to one man (Daniel Auteuil) by her mother (Virna Lisi), while she is, in fact, in love with another (Vincent Pérez). Despite the bond that grows between the reluctant couple, plots are hatching all over the castle against the royals. Adventurous, exciting, erotic, and given strong artistic credibility through its outstanding cast, the film is enthralling and visually sumptuous. Directed by Patrice Chereau, less known outside of France than is the film's producer, Claude Berri (director of Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring). (via amazon.com)
