I liked this because I've been to France, to the chateau of Amboise, where the Catholics hung the Protestants from the gargoyles. This story takes place during all of that. A link to history. That's my kind of movie, even though it's not real fun.

MCT:May 16, 2008An excellent portrayal of the historical struggles in France between Catholic & Protestan. Very real and graphic. War was gruesome back then.

Filled with thrills and excitement, this film re-enacts a time in history when fueds and wars were the thing of each day. Vincent Perez and Isabell Adjani are beautiful to look at and their romance is hot.

This film should be considered a classic, but instead, I'm afraid, it's considered completely underwatched, underappreciated, and underrated, and it's deserving of so much more!
-
MCT:September 20, 2007Weird....Perez was hot. That chick was gorgeous, but...no.
I thought that her brother the king was far more interesting than she was. And even though I love Vincent Perez, he just seemed rather simple and not really important. Other than to look good. -

Beautiful, graphic, intense, passionate... French. Margot's transformation was exhilarating to watch.
-
MCT:August 10, 2007Dramatic, very exciting, very sexy but also very sad. Berri is an excellent director and of course Isabelle Adjani looks stunning

If you can stand the steady stream of French subtitles without missing the story...one of the best period dramas ever...tells the true story of the largest massacre in French history, but it's NOT particularly violent (considering the subject matter)...lots of sensualité...favorite line: Tu as faim? Are you hungry? When a catholic and a protestant finally call a truce and become friends, warmongers take note!

The cast are all excellent without exception - especially Anglade and Autiel. The film is sumptuous and colourful and also highly erotic. It plays with its audience lurching between lust and slaughter.
Overall a good watch and worthy of recommendation, with young teenage kids and extremists in Catholic/Protestants preachings an exception. -

Fuerte, muy fuerte película; pero es una joya; no he visto la de Jeanne Moreau, pero siento que ambas tienen su grado de maestría.

It is sweet... and kinda sad. I guess it is pretty historically accurate besides maybe the whole in love with a poor man thing.

Lavish, beautiful (Isabelle Adjani), gruesome, distinctly unsanitary (Isabelle Adjani); lyrical, excessively French (Isabelle Adjani) ... who knew the St Bartholomews Day Massacre could be so enjoyable? I'm sure the Hugenot's didn't think so ... but I'm in it for the eye-candy ... and Isabelle Adjani

This is one of those foreign films that people have to see at bleast once. The story is slightly tedious as are the subtitles, but this movie just goes to prove that Vincent Perez is a star no matter what country or language he's tackling!!!

To some extent the film uses Dumas' book as little more than to provide reference points to tell a tragic story of love, and is all the better for it. The book would be very difficult to directly transfer to the screen. The film gives a rollicking good story, and, while the central plot is ficticious, it provides a good introduction to the Hugenot in 16th century France. A warning though - the opening depiction of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre is very gory.

OK, it's a french film w/ subtitles but it's an awesome period piece w/ fantastic acting. It's romatinc, adventurous and not, I repeat, NOT HOLLYWOOD at all!
-
MCT:May 1, 2007I was actually in physical pain in the cinema by the end of this. It was so long, so tedious and at the end it felt like I'd just lost years off my life. But, in most French films, there's always a gorgeous actress to look at somewhere and this is no exception, but that's about all the good I have to say about it.

very good, actually...
Has a nice political intrigue, and though it gets a bit slow, it has wonderful acting and a nice written script. Visually beautiful.
And Adjani fits the character perfectly. -

One of the greatest movies of all time, based on Alexandre Dumas best novel. Isabella adjani is mesmeriziing to watch, and the music score is chilling.

Isabelle Adjani became my french cinema goddess after this movie, and I fell even deeply in love with Vincent Perez. All actors are wonderful, from Lisi to Anglade, from Bose to Argento...and Daniel Auteouill...superb! Although it is quite long, the plot is dynamic and there's suspense everywhere. the historical subject was well treated and the Night of Saint Bartholomew scenes are wonderful. I think that's pretty much the way it truly was. The perfect ending...'Elo Hi', Ofra Haza's enchanting and magic song. Pity for the world she's dead now. We lost a great singer.

I saw it in french with english subtitles as a "fun" history lesson and is this an amazing film or what? The historical deatial is mindblowing, and the drama so intense. Slightly too graphic for my usual tastes it is a beautifully crafted peice of work - and I didn't even get to see the end.

Wow! Very romantic & steamy! Yes, also very bloody, but damn, they did a good job on this story! The book was just as good.
