Description:
Acclaimed actor Gérard Depardieu stars in the adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic tale of love, intrigue and revenge.
The Count of Monte Cristo tells the dramatic story of Edmond Dantès, a young French sailor who is falsely denounced as a traitor and unjustly imprisoned for eighteen years without a trial. After a daring escape, Dantès secures a treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo bequeathed to him by a dying inmate. Using these riches, he assumes a new identity and devises a plan to seek vengeance against all those who betrayed him.

Almost everything that needs to be said about this version has already been said by other reviewers. I will only add three things which may explain my painful three stars instead of the five I would desperately like to give.

This is a most enjoyable and satisfying presentation. Fine acting all around. An erudite and absorbing script. A French production ensuring and delivering authentic settings, costumes, art direction. The seven hour run time allows a viewer to wallow in the story, similar to the enjoyment of getting deep into a long treasured book. This story by Dumas contains all the elements of drama...the basic kernel that draws us into the story. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this film in all its aspects. I was so impressed with the fabulous acting. Depardieu is truly a wonderful actor! His face is so expressive!

And the editing was superb - to keep that wonderful pacing was a major achievement! Bravo!

This was a great mini-series, all in French, but with readable subtitles. It kept us at the edge of our seats for many hours. Gerard and family were wonderful.

The Count of Monte Cristo is among the all-time great works of adventure fiction. It is shot through with intrigue, both political and romantic, gripping suspense, and slam-bang action. The first time I read it I lost a few nights' sleep because I couldn't stop leafing through the pages to turn off the lights.
This film version, with a cast of impressive depth and range, surpasses the others I've seen. The book is sprawling, and any screen adaptation necessarily makes substantial cuts, ... Read More
