Angélique

the photography. the costumes. the cast. three pillars for a different adaptation of Anne Golon's novel. the romanticism has different level and nuances. Nora Arnezeder is not Michelle Mercier and Gerard Lanvin is different by Robert Hossein. but that fact is one of great good points because the story has as target a new public from a new century. and that fact does it credibility and force, a special charm, a new image about a story who seems be well - known. the wise manner to use the nuances - that is its basic virtue. the not passionate style, the delicacy for details, Angelique as fighter more than a victim or woman looking her protector. a beautiful film and an inspired project. and, sure, a new series. full of high ambition.

I really appreciated the new film. It focuses more on the era (and now as well) issues - political, social, religious and personal. The choice of the actors are very good. I hope that there will be a next film (or several ones).

One of greatest movies i've ever watched. Everyone find something for him or her self. Very good actors play and camera shots . It's sad that there isn't more from this series .

an interesting and courageous project. to present to a new generation, after almost half of century, a story who represents a great success for its period. but it is not only ambition. the new Angelique is real different. for the cold tension, for the new dimensions of the lead character, for the admirable cast, costumes and grace of details. it reflects the expectations of the contemporary public and that fact does it interesting. the romanticism is not the star and Angelique seems be more credible as country girl who fights in a pragmatic manner for her purpose. a film who could be the first from a series. or only signal for remind an old brand. each of possibilities are good point for a courageous project.

What's wrong with French movie industry? That movie just should not exist. Beautiful story was jinxed with this nonsense. Angelique is terrible, definitely not Michele Mercier. Comte de Peyrac is old. Common, he is 30 years old in the book not 60+ weirdo. Nicolas is same age as Angelique, not boring dude in his 40th... Degre is ok but can't be compared with Jean Rochefort. I am very disappointed. Seriously, it was such a beautiful series of movies from 60th, still perfect even now. I watched it recently, whole series. Beautiful costumes, nature, personages. Nothing of that I can find in this movie: dark scenes, bleached colors, weird costumes... awful, just awful.
