Brilliant and touching

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

beautiful people, touching love, adventure and mysteries, Versailles and strange situations. that could be all. a splendid Michelle Mercier as new, strong, determined, mature Angelique and her fight for justice and true love. France of Louis XIV and little more than romanticism, exoticism or a history lesson. a film/a series who reminds more the sensitivity , expectations and innocence of the public from the"60's - East European not the last - than the glamor of a pink history. a film who seduces for the , at first sigh, large circles of chaos. and for the art of the lead actress to create a credible character who defines herself more than by the beauty but for the force and courage. a film for each age. for discover a form of cinema who has origin in the popular novel by Alexander Dumas father and Feval and could be a kind of alternative to many blockbusters.

The third movie is definitely better than the second one. I love the scenes depicting the Versailles, vivid colors of splendid costumes, and that scene when Angelique rides at the beginning of the movie. Of course there are few scenes which I did like, f.i. black mass being held. But not because of the scene itself, but for the plot reasons. It could have been easily omitted but I guess it was done to explain the death of Barcarole (if i spelled correctly). And if I remember it right, Angelique and Joffrey did not meet again until on the boat much later, yet here we saw he rescued her but then escaped and then she goes in pursue of him. Overallm very enjoying!

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.

"Angélique et le roy" is Anne et Serge Golon's peak:their novel successfully recreates the atmosphere of Louis the fourteenth 's court,with its intrigues,and its incredible "Etiquette".Their depictions are vivid and colorful.They have never blended so intimately Angelique's adventures with the historical events:and there 's a lot of 'em:war in Holland,the sumptuous feasts which celebrated victory,the rise of Madame de Montespan and the fall of Louise de La Vallière as favorites of the Sun King,the poisons affair,Henriette d'Angleterre's death,et al.Of course,there are some mistakes (the book was written in the fifties):Monsieur ,frère du roi (king's brother),was never the villain depicted by the Golon,and his wife's(Henriette) poisening was never proved(and the historians reckon it's unlikely).What about the movie?It's an almost complete loss.The scenarists took what was the most spectacular-Angélique meets a Persian prince and is almost raped,she attends a black mass- and left the rest,all I mention above."Indomptable Angélique" and "angélique et le sultan" the two final episodes of the saga are,if possible,worse.One should note,however,that only the third part of the novel was transferred to the screen.Philippe ,who plays a prominent part in the novel ,disappears in the prologue!If only more people knew the novels...Alas!
