Artivels Undescribable Perfection
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
tigerboy-45193 Pity the Voting did not go to 100. I saw this fist when I was 17 and followed the whole series. Never seen a better love story EVER. Still remember it today as if just seen and I am now 70. The music was phenomenal and at the young age was hopelessly in love with Joffrey. In fact still think he is handsome. Have also loved French History Ever since. Bring back the originals for people to enjoy a decent film these days. Michelle was also perfect for the part as you forgot it was a story and felt the same she did. FANTASTIC
minamurray French Angelique novels by Serge and Anne Golon (she apparently made most of the writing, while he took care of research) are quite good entertainment, even though characters, at least in the first books, are rotten to the core, including heroine whose only virtue is her good looks. (She becomes a bit more mature in later books). Films are well-made bodice-rippers graced by rich colours which (unfortunately) you don't see anymore, reddish-haired beauty of the heroine and sumptuous 17th century costumes and scenery. They look fantastic, and colourful plots have intrigue and splendor of Versailles, witchcraft trials, pirates, slavery and more.
Nica Sind First time i saw this movie about 10 years ago. I just couldn't take my eyes of the screen. And after first time i was terrorizing my neighbor to give me that VCR again. I was child and i thought that movie was amazing. Well i still think same. Yesterday (really) i finished reading first book "Angelique" and today i almost finished second book. I love the details in book and movie both. Of course now when i first saw the movie Angelique for me is only Michelle Mercie. For me as for person who loved this drama story is hard to say much about movie and book cause i can say just "its wonderful". One of most important thing is that its not only a love story. Its like a lifestyle encyclopedia. Anne Golon described all details so great that you can imagine all clothes, buildings, people, meals and everything. Once more - its wonderful story.
yelkina I have seen this movie, and all the others of the series. They are excellent if you liked the books, and also like the atmospher of adventure, 17th century, royal court affairs, etc. I would advise to see this movie.
