Merveilleuse Angélique

Angelique returns! The saga continues with Angelique now deprived of her wealth and a refugee. She reunites with her first love Nicolas - now a gang leader and a very different character to the character we saw in the first film.

With too many characters coming and going and the film dragging, I didn't find it as interesting as 'Angelique'. I could hardly keep track of all the characters. Angelique then becomes a successful chocolatier. She is as witty as ever, which salvaged the film (for me) to a certain extent.

I missed Jeoffrey (Robert Hossein) and the love story was far too much like a daily soap opera. I didn't really find any of the characters compelling - apart from Angelique, off course. The costumes and locations are once again stunning, though.

To be honest, 'Angelique: The Road to Versailles (originally 'Marveilleuse Angelique') was rather forgettable. Compared to 'Angelique' selling 60 million box office tickets, 'The Road to Versailles' only sold 10.3 million tickets. I rest my case.

Well, I'm from central Europe and the Angelique-films have been a part of the life of everyone here, since the very beginning. The Slovak TV shows it every year and I can't actually imagine not seeing it at least once a year :) It is a perfect mixture of simple, yet great story,love, drama, adventure and history at the same time. Besides, dazzling costumes and settings, beautiful music of Michel Magne and great acting of all the cast (especially Michele Mercier, Robert Hossein and Jean-Louis Trintignant are brilliant) make all of these films a great pleasure to watch. So, when you need to escape from the grey reality, get these films and fly away to a place where courage,bravery and above all love were the heart and soul of everybody's life. Maybe you'll find there what is missing a bit in the world today...

This is the next aligned to the Angelica series. There is workmanship shown throughout this , namely the sets, and also the main theme is very immense suiting the movie's intended tone, lots of dire situations interspersed with light party carnival like scenes. By this movie she already gets like two other guys after the previous movie and one of them is offed just like the previous ones , a joke probably by the movie makers at this point of the fates of all her guys. I have to note this movie is actually a lighter toned one as far as sequels go because things are not as dire as in the original movie, but that is even hinted in the subtitle 'road to Versailles.' As for my review title, baguettes are tasty. With some iced tea.

This was the first Angelique movie that I watched or attempted to watch, and it will be the last.

The description of this alleged heroin as an intelligent and strong willed with a purpose. But the scripting comes off as a airheaded blonde that falls for the first man who comes her way.

First it was the fake eye patch wearing Neanderthal, followed by the poor poet without a penny to his name. And all this white leaving her two young boys in harms way.

Weak plot, over acting from F movie has-beens and let's not even bring up the clownish fight choreography.

Angelique makes Emmanuelle softcore porn somewhat bearable.

the fragile young lady becomes a business woman, part of politic affairs, beautiful, powerful, sentimental, looking the justice and example of high courage. nothing new. only the old traits becomes more interesting. adventure. and love. that was the source of seduction of entire series for a generation of young viewers for who Mercier was a kind of goddess. the short presence of Jean La Fontaine , the references to the Fronde are small pieces who gives some credibility to a story who has not many occasions to be realistic. but that is not a sin. because it reflects only the fictionally atmosphere of a century, lovely, cruel, mysterious, and propose a charming character who, as woman, could be more interesting for admirers of fairy tales.
