The Count of Monte Cristo (2024)
Feb 17, 2025
(dirs. Matthieu Delaporte & Alexandre de La Patellière) This is a glorious and thoroughly entertaining version of Alexandre Dumas’ novel. The sumptuous costumes, sets, and cinematography elevate the familiar tale, and Pierre Niney captures both the wounded and vengeful sides of Edmond well. Laurent Lafitte also clearly relished playing the mustachioed and detestable Villefort. Great fun. ★★★★☆
