Set in the 18th century, Vincent Perez plays the title role of the seductive swordsman Fanfan, who flees his home in order to avoid a forced marriage. A gypsy girl named Adeline (Penelope Cruz) tricks him into joining the army of King Louis XV (Didier Bourdon) by telling him that if he fights, he will get to marry one of the king's daughters. In addition to producing, Luc Besson co-wrote the adapted screenplay. Fanfan la Tulipe premiered at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
It wanders sadly through routine action sequences, mixing slapstick with derring-do yet never generating any wit or romance.

Jorge Avila Andrade, Moviola
Es una de esas cintas que tienen todos los elementos para hacer un buen producto 'palomero': excelente fotografía, estupenda banda sonora y un elenco agradable

Luis Martinez, Cinenganos
Comedia ligera que resbala hasta lo ramplón.
