With an estimated budget of 429 million euros, The Count of Monte Cristo is the most expensive French film of 2024
Tale
After escaping from an island prison where he spent 14 years after being wrongly accused of treason, Edmond Dantes returns as the Count of Monte Cristo to take revenge on the men who betrayed him.
He appears in La grande semaine: episode 113 (2024)
When Albert watches Heidi sing and play the guitar, it is very obvious that he does not even touch the strings half the time.
Now, this is a great movie, the actors play well, the scenes are well-designed, and the music is excellent
However, for someone who has read the book before, a large part of the actual story is not only missing, but also heavily modified.
Some of the original characters are missing and grouped under a new character (Angelel)
It is disappointing, and the main reason is that it is 8 instead of 10, but I guess it is not that easy to squeeze a story of 6 books into 3 hours.
So if you’re not a Dumas fanatic, go and see it, you’ll enjoy it!
It’s like 3 hours and 20 minutes long, with good romance, great costumes, great action scenes and drama.
