QuickView
Story-line: as religious strife tears through France, a marriage is arranged between catholic Marguerite de Valois and protestant Henri de Bourbon to bring stability to the realm.
Pluses: formidable acting, seamless direction, a clear historical context, a suspenseful story.
Minuses: none whatsoever.
Comments: a breathtaking French feature that no movie buff should miss. Do not mistake LA REINE MARGOT for a mere costume drama… it’s really a James Bond film set in the sixteenth century. Expect lots of mayhem and a mesmerizing movie experience, no less.
