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). --Tom Keogh

 Must read and see.... January 27, 2010
Natallia I. Steele (Stuttgart, Germany)
The book is fabulous, leaving you to want more. The movie sort of hits the spot and actually shows clear picture of issues of the 16th centry. I loved the movie. Of course after you read any book and then watch movie about it it would never be as good, but it clears up a lot of personal questions about actions and images. So it was a pleasure to watch. Would recommend.
Movie is a good clear picture, with option of English subtitles. Not as glamorous as most of the movies about the way of life in France in 1500. But I think it makes it unique and actually gives it a real look at the life how it was then. I would say has really true French touch to it. I enjoyed , hope you will too...
Outstanding in every way. . . October 1, 2009
Shawn Irwin (Tempe Arizona USA)
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Great cinematography, excellent actors, a lot of realism, and historically based. It's not an American movie, so don't expect a pretty end. That is what I like about many foreign movies though, they are a lot less boringly predictable than American movies.

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.
