Angelica alla corte del re

A year after her second husband Philippe died in battle, king Louis (Jacques Toja) asks Angélique if she is available to go on a diplomatic mission for him: meet the ambassador of Persia, Bachtiary Bey (Sami Frey). Diplomacy is not exactly Angélique's field, but the king encourages her: "You are an impossible woman, but please stay as you are." The reward is the castle of her first husband, Count Peyrac, how could she refuse? The castle brings back old memories. The first meeting with Bachtiary Bey at a public execution, however, is not going well, because he is not used to listen to proud and determined women, but then there is an unexpected interruption...

Here we go again, the adventure continues, and the addition of exotic friends and enemies, including even a group of satanists at a black mass, keeps it interesting. Angélique seems more confident now, after she was only chased and victimized in the previous part. I voted 8/6/7/6/6 for the 5 movies of the series.

Angelique is back for another adventure. In the previous film Angelique married her cousin, Philippe de Plessis-Bellières. At the start of 'Angelique and the King' Philippe dies and Angelique is once again widowed. Now, King Louis XIV expresses his interest in her. He sends her on a mission to ensure a treaty is signed between Persia and Russia.

In Persia, she gets more than she bargained for in Ambassador Bachtiary Bey, who sees her as a gift to him. In a daring rescue, she is saved by Prince De Vardes, who proclaims his love for her. Now Bachriary demands De Vardes' head. Oh, Angelique and all the men who fall at her feet!!

As a reward for her mission, Kind Louis awards a property to Angelique, which belonged to her first husband, Jeoffrey de Peyrac. Jeoffrey was my favourite character from the first movie, so I was overjoyed at his return (once again portrayed by the handsome Robert Hossein).

Angelique is once again portrayed by the fabulous Michelle Mercier, and she is as witty as ever. I absolutely love her as Angelique. As always, the film offers passion, drama, humour, intrigue, action and adventure. 'Angelique and the King' was so much better than its predecessor 'Angelique: The Road to Versailles' (Aka 'Marvellous Angelique'). The costumes and locations are stunning as always.

This is the 3rd part of the movie series.After her husband dies in the war,Angelique now back in the nobility,decides to play a part in the court of King Louis XIV. This is probably the best movie of the series mainly due to the several scenes filmed in the gardens of the Versailles,magnificent settings and costumes bright this installment.Also, Angelique,has matured and looks even more impressive and beautiful than ever. In this movie many important events happen that push the story forward but i don't want to give out spoilers.This is an enjoyable movie,good-looking and lighter in dramatic style than the previous 2 parts.

In this movie. Ft. some freaky stuff, out of nowhere a human sacrifice of a tyke, not going thru with just hinted , otherwise kingly intrigues , the other part with the shah is yawn , but just I guess more for the novella crowd.

I liked the first film of this series and I stumbled across the third part. Costumes and cinematography are great, and there a lot of twists and turns in the plot.

Acting is very good as well, and it made me a worth wile to watch. I really think they made these films with excellence and interest in a detail.

There is too much of romance involved, I guess that age was that way. today it is a whole different matter.

France was beautiful then as it is today. Scene of Angelique riding south is a memorable one!
