	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Chereau Massacres Lush "Margot"
		In an effort to effect a reconciliation, the Queen Mother, Catherine de Medici, arranged a marriage between her daughter Margot and the Protestant Henri of Navarre.
		Margot (Isabelle Adjani) and Henri (Daniel Auteuil), sumptuously dressed (the mind boggles at just how much Adjani's dress must have cost), kneel in the cathedral while a chorus the size of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings in the background.
		There is an amusing bit where Margot, who refuses to consummate the marriage with Henri, goes out into the street to look for a man with whom to spend her wedding night.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Queen Margot \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Queen Margot" is another filthy period picture — that is to say, one in which everyone seems sorely in need of a bath.
		But Catherine really has other power plays up her sleeve, and the film's centerpiece is a horrifying depiction of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre she engineers, leaving in its wake the bodies of hundreds of Protestants in the streets of Paris (and thousands more on the outskirts of the city).
		Meanwhile, Margot and Henri reluctantly perpetuate their in-name-only marriage, and the film spends a lot of time with dark and dreary court intrigue, back-stabbing, double-crossing and plenty of gory violence.

	Queen Margot (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Margot, the Catholic daughter of Catherine de Medici, is married off to Henri of Navarre, a Huguenot, in an effort to end the hostilities between the two religious groups.
		Margot has no love or interest in her new husband, and takes a Huguenot lover, La Mole, instead.
		It is gruesomely REAL, from Queen Catherines favoritism in her children(to the point she almost forgets that Margot is her only daughter)to the tragic and graphic ending of La Mole.

		Margot, who initially dislikes her husband and is known for her wantonness, does make a pact with him to be his ally.
		Queen Margot is also surprisingly bloody and realistic for such a picture, and the slaughter is depicted rather graphically.
		Margot's marriage to Henri is not to be consummated; so she goes to the streets wearing a mask in search of a lover.

	``QUEEN MARGOT'' SHOWY AND VIOLENT
		With all this as background, ``Queen Margot'' is still not so concerned with history as it is with steamy sex and raw violence - and a quite impressive parade of costumes.
		In a hellish mother-daughter relationship, the Catholic Margot, heir to the French throne, is forced by her mum, Catherine of Medici, to marry the leader of the Protestants, Henri of Navarre.
		Margot, who hates her new husband, dons disguises and roams the streets of Paris at night seeking obsessive sex.

	FILM REVIEW -- Superb Acting in `Queen Margot'
		Based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas and directed by Patrice Chereau (``L'Homme Blesse''), ``Queen Margot'' -- now available on home video -- takes place in the late 16th century, when ruling Catholics defended the crown against the Protestant Huguenots, who demanded religious tolerance.
		Bloody and brutal, ``Queen Margot'' takes pains to avoid the picturesque vacuity of big-screen historical epics.
		The greatest pleasure in the film, which at two hours and 23 minutes is a bit of a chore, comes with watching the performances: the fabulous Lisi, Jean-Hughes Anglade as King Charles IX and Adjani, who seems unchanged from her 1975 film debut in ``The Story of Adele H.''
