Not usually a fan of action movies, the wonderful cast and also the classic selection of French literature convinced me to watch LE COMTE DE MONTE CRISTO. And boy, was I not disappointed!
Despite being three hours long, the film never gets boring
When it’s not keeping us on our toes, it shows us stunning scenes of 19th century France, making us wonder how they managed to survive on just 40 million euros! The beautiful cinematography and clever editing play a role in making this film stand out from the expensive Hollywood productions.
Credit goes to Alexandre Dumas for coming up with such a moving story
Writing the script was no easy task either and it is wonderfully done here. I sincerely hope this film finds a career outside of France as it deserves to be seen by more people.
