September 4.I love movies about the Royals. Usually the British Royals, but Margot, the spoiled, slutty, sister of the King of France, who ruled while Queen Elizabeth 1 was ruling in England, has an incredibly interesting family worthy of many more movies.
"La Reine Margot" is an adaptation of the novel by Alexandre Dumas. It starts on Catholic Margot's wedding night to the Protestant King of Navarre, Henri. The wedding is a political ploy to unite France, which is split because of ... religion.
The movie isn't great. It's seems like a made-for-tv movie, low budget and too much going on for the length, but I loved the story and the characters as Dumas presented them. I hope someone will make a better quality version of this story. Maybe even a four season Showtime series.
