Angélique, marquise des anges

Although I'm not French but Russian... who actually lives in Australia but wants to travel around the world and go to France one day to improve her French ;-) But I love this movie... even more than I loved the book... It's absolutely brilliant and always inspires me so much. I think through all the years the main character has influenced my own character so much... that my friends sometimes say I act and even look a bit like Angelique.

So I don't really think that the movie isn't well known... It beats all the modern Hollywood soapy dramas. And I absolutely vote for it!

Such a pity! It's not possible to buy this movie anymore. I read all Angelique's adventures (there are 14, I guess) on account of this film. I showed the movie to my teenager french niece and she loved it! We can learn a lot about french history,human feelings and have great fun altogether. Find it in your local video store and enjoy romance and adventure...

This movie is old : 1964. Most IMDb users won't never watch it, as it is probably difficult to get a copy in other countries. The whole angelique series is a very very good example of what french cinema could be. My mother was very fond of the books, and I saw the films when I was a child. I liked them as adventure movies, and I watched them again as an adult and wasn't disappointed at all, even if as an adult i understood the adventure is secondary to the romance. But good romance it is ! Great story, good playing and... Well, All good.

IMHO only pirates of Caribbean black pearl reach the level of these as epic adventure watchable by the whole family. Another awesome movie in a very different way, but let's get back to Angelique...

French history of the time is not really acute, but is good enough. Quite good, indeed, even for an historian. Michele Mercier is great and Joffrey de peyrac is THE MAN every woman dreams of ( I mean Joffrey, not Robert Hossein). Underrated for sure, and this (and other following movies of the angelique series) is by far out of reach of nowadays french cinema, and alas, probably forever.

I have not seen this movie for many years but I remember it fondly. I used to be a huge fan in my early teenage years. Along with my friends, we had seen "Angélique, marquise des anges" no less than ten times at the cinema, and we all fell in love with green-eyed, sensual Angelique, her mysterious and brilliant husband, the Count Jeoffrey de Peyrac (Robert Hossein), her sharp and clever friend, Desgrez (Jean Rochefort), with the atmosphere of 17th century's France, its picturesque country sides, splendor of Paris and Versailles and dark secrets of the Lous XIV court. Very French movie at its best. I also would like to mention that the movie is based on the first book in the series by Anne and Serge Golon, and all books are absolutely marvelous.

Ah, I have such fond memories of seeing 'Angelique' (not in 1964!) when I was young. I still enjoy it just as much today.

And who could possibly have portrayed Angelique better than Michelle Mercier? She is sensational! Whilst in love with Nicolas (Giuliano Gemma), free-spirited Angelique is forced to marry a man she's never met - Count Jeoffrey de Peyrac (wonderfully portrayed by Robert Hossein). Described as "horrible" I actually found Jeoffrey rather desirable...

'Angelique' is fast-paced and exciting, and Angelique's wittiness ensures a good dose of humor, too. The film features beautiful locations and stunning costumes. 'Angelique' is an action-packed, epic film with loads of twist and turns, and interesting revelations. Add conspiracy theories, murder, betrayal, deceit, false accusations... I love it!
