 | | Over 12,000 film reviews and 100,000 people in our movie database |
 | | Depicting events surrounding the St Batholomew's Day massacre in 16th century France, an intricate plot is woven involving adultery, lust, betrayal, religious conflict, incest and the bloody street battle itself. |
 | | The acting from Isabelle Adjani (as the Catholic Marguerite 'Margot' de Valois), Jean-Hugues Anglade (as her brother, the immature, eccentric King Charles IX), Virna Lisi (as their scheming mother, Catherine de Medici), Daniel Auteuil (as Margot's Huguenot husband, Henri de Navarre) and the assembled European cinema notables is all first-rate, the direction simply thrilling. |
