Review

Los Angeles Times, 12/14/1994, p.F2, "...Rich and full of verve....Adjani still burns a hole in the screen..."

New York Times, 12/09/1994, p.C10, "...A big, splashy role for the regal [Adjani]....Chéreau creates an atmosphere in which his actors' flamboyance can be entertaining..."

Entertainment Weekly, 01/27/1995, pp.32-3, "...Mesmerizing....History has rarely been so gorgeously, electrically, sensously portrayed..." -- Rating: A

USA Today, 06/16/1995, p.16D, "...Adjani, rapturously photographed by Philippe Rousselot, combines Lillian Gish's silent-screen inner strength with sex bomb packaging..."

Title Note

Rated BBFC 18 by the British Board of Film Certification.

One episode of D.W. Griffith's famed epic "Intolerance" (1916) also covers the St. Bartholomew's massacre, but from a different perspective -- that of the victims.

Distributor Note

Queen Margot

A classic tale of intrigue and forbidden love, QUEEN MARGOT is the powerful hit universally acclaimed by critics! Thrown into a political marriage of convenience by her ruthlessly power-hungry family, the beautiful Margot (Isabelle Adjani -- DIABOLIQUE) soon finds herself hopelessly drawn into their murderous affairs. It's then she realizes that her only hope of escape lies somewhere between the heroic soldier who loves her and the enemy husband who could save her! Triumphant winner of 5 Cesar Awards the pretigious Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize -- you're sure to be entertained by this vivid portrayal of passion, revenge, and extraordinary courage!

Product Notes

This acclaimed film presents the epic 16th-century saga of Margot de Valois (Isabelle Adjani) and her tragic arranged marriage to Henri of Navarre (Daniel Auteuil). In order to create an alliance between the Protestants and the Catholics, Margot is betrothed to Henri, one of the leaders of the French Protestants. Margot, despite her initial hostility, eventually becomes Henri's main ally in a convoluted and conspiratorial court. However, determined not to consummate her relationship with Henri, Margot takes a Protestant lover (Vincent Perez) and during the St. Bartholomew's Night Massacre, in which the Catholics slaughter the Protestants, helps him escape. The events that follow change not only Margot's life but the course of French history.
