Le Comte de Monte Cristo
cert. 12A | by Matthieu Delaporte, Alexandre de La Patellière with Pierre Niney, Anaïs Demoustier, Laurent Lafitte, 2024, 178’, feature in French with English subtitles
In the year 1815, Edmond Dantès (Pierre Niney) finds himself incarcerated within the formidable fortress of the Château d’If for a crime he did not commit. Enduring fourteen years of imprisonment, he eventually engineers his escape, embarking on a meticulously crafted quest for vengeance. Assuming multiple identities – “the Count of Monte Cristo” among them – Dantès first courts his enemies, now highly placed dignitaries, the better to strike them down. But the price of revenge is heavy for one’s soul … Alexandre Dumas’s epic novel The Count of Monte Cristo comes in a truly lavish adaptation with breathtaking backdrops and a mind-blowing pace.
