‘Le Comte de Monte-Cristo’ directed by Alexandre De la Patellière et Matthew Delaporte (2h 58min) in French with English subtitles

“Victim of a conspiracy, young Edmond Dantès is arrested on his wedding day for a crime he did not commit. After fourteen years of detention at the Château d’If, he managed to escape. Having become immensely rich, he returns under the identity of the Count of Monte Cristo to take revenge on the three men who betrayed him.” – Synopsis

“Remarkably made for under $50 million, the production looks stunning, from its superior cinematography by Nicolas Bolduc, magnificent production design by Stéphane Taillasson and an excellent score from Jérôme Rebotier. Delaporte and de la Patellliere have made something fresh and exciting from one of the oldest stories.” – Deadline
