Only if you like French movies...
4 December 2003
I am not a fan of French movies, especially since I watched Queen Margot. This movie did nothing to change my view. I don't like the way it is scripted, edited, and the unreveling of plot. Nevertheless, this does not mean my opinion on the movie is low. Movie is actually quite good. Only big complaint that I have about it is those little historical episodes, which are quite unnerving. Certain knowledge of French history is prerequisite for watching the movie and no one minute stories are going to help people get better outlook on it.

Actor portraying Restif was annoying (I really can't remember his name). Marchello Mastroiani, needless to say, was remarkable.

Characters in the movie are by most part quite commical, especially Restif and M Jacob. Comtesse is annoying and her sluttiness becomes such an obstacle to enjoying the movie most of the time.

In general, this is a good movie, just that I didn't like it. I give it seven out of ten.
