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 Perez). 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). --Tom Keogh

This is not an anamorphic widescreen dvd - shame on Miramax. So buyer beware!

M. Hall (New Orleans)
This movie is very well done (subtitled). There are many treacherous characters, especially the Mother. It will make you appreciate your cookie baking mother and never want to receive any reading material as a gift.
The queen who potrayed different images of a woman! December 6, 2008

"La Reine Margot", a pure example of fine Europeon film-making, the film takes you back to the time of 15th century France, wonderfull performences from Adjani and Auteiuil, both had an excellent chemistry. Jean-Hugues Anglade, words alone will fail to describe his performence in the role of the King, he was fabulous. Pascal Greggory was excellent, even through his role was brief. Vincent Perez deliverd a good performence as well. the most prominent word about this very film could be 'Realistic and Genuine', thrown lights on the events that took place in 1572, France (the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre). Almost everyone delivers a brilliant performemce, If you are into French History or just good drama, you cannot afford to miss this wonderfull film. a film with perfection in all sences, surely wont dissapoint you. A fine example of Fine french cinema. Worth appreciating indeed.
Very good story. August 27, 2008
Monikin East (Florida, US)
Great story. Historical and very entertaining. Acting was excellent by
Adjani and Auteuil. Virna Lisi(one of my favorite actor from the 60's)
was very good in her part as Margot's mother. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who likes history, and romance.
 VERY GOOD FILM August 3, 2008
Bambi Shangri-La (HOTLANTA, GA USA)
I'm not up on this period of history so I had to keep playing certain portions of the movie over and over. But it is a well-acted and sumptiously film vehicle. I had some trouble remembering which one of Margot's brother's were which and who was fight who. It's hard to watch such an action-filled film and have to read sub-titles too. But I eventually figured everything out and went on a great ride. There's much innuendo about incest which went over my head but since the possibilities were not central to the story, it mattered not. Isabelle Adjani is exquisitely and panssionate as Margot. The sets and costumes are lush and the cinematography superb. I have to go brush up on this period of history - I hope it is as frightening and interesting as this film portrays it here.
