‘The Count of Monte-Cristo’

Inspired by Alexandre Dumas’s timeless story, this drama follows Edmond Dantes (Pierre Niney), whose bright future is crushed by deceit. Wrongfully accused and sentenced to imprisonment, he endures years of hardship before escaping, becoming the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo to seek revenge on those who betrayed him.

Despite a three-hour runtime, this French film immerses viewers with gripping drama, stunning 19th-century visuals, and outstanding performances. Themes of love, betrayal, courage, and revenge are explored with nuance.
