Queen Margot (1994)
Briliant!!!!!!
This French Drama staring Isabelle Adjani, Asia Argento, Virna Lisi and Jean Hugues Angelade is based upon the novel by Dumas.
The year 1572 in August France is envolved in a religious war, brutal and blody.
Catholics and protastants are bitter enemies. Margot the beutiful sister of King Charles is forced into marrying the protastant Henri de Navarre in an atempt to stop the war.
The St. Bartholomew`s Day massacre is a fact after just six days of marrage. Thousands of protostants brutaly slayed to death by the catholics. Amasingly one of theme escapes death, La Mole is his name and badly wounded he finds Margot and a forbidden romance is a fact. Beutiful and scary at the same time this film becomes a mile post for 1994, briliantly directed by Patrice Chereau.
Asia Argento playes the role of Charlotte and she does an exelent job as usual. This is one of Asias best movies ever so go out and rent it!
