The administrators of this massive, lusty French costume drama, Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte, beforehand shared the writing credit on one other swaggering, swashbuckling Alexandre Dumas adaptation – the first and second instalments of The Three Musketeers. And this could provide you with some thought of what to anticipate from this boisterous and really pleasant epic. Whereas The Depend of Monte Cristo lacks the bromantic comedian aptitude of The Three Musketeers (it’s a story of bitter betrayal and revenge, in any case, quite than the shit-faced sword-brandishing and banter favoured by D’Artagnan and co), it’s directed with verve and acted with gusto.
This old style, big-budget spectacle follows the sensible, pushed Edmond Dantès (Pierre Niney), AKA the eponymous rely, on his quest for retribution towards those that wronged him on the day of his marriage ceremony to the stunning Mercédès (Anaïs Demoustier).
