With an estimated budget of €429 million, The Count of Monte Cristo is the most expensive French film of 2024
Plot
After escaping from an island prison where he spent 14 years for being wrongly accused of treason, Edmond Dantès returns as the Count of Monte Cristo to take revenge on the men who betrayed him. When Albert watches Hydee sing and play the guitar, it is very obvious that she does not even touch the strings half the time.
I was never bored
in La grande semaine: Episode #1.13 (2024). Not once did I find inconsistencies.
The landscapes and sets were to grow
The acting never took me out of the story, it keeps you there from beginning to end. French cinema produces a lot of forgettable films (in my opinion), many entertaining, some great and here and there a film that actually does.
I love cinema and theater
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the latter. Rarely do I find a film that portrays love, friendship, betrayal, courage, loneliness, care, revenge, and more, at least in a decent manner.
Nothing felt rushed to me
The three hours were well worth it and I felt like it would have been less than two. I encourage you to see this film, it has many qualities and it won’t be a waste of time.
