THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

CountofMonteCristo

Following its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival, The Count of Monte Cristo received a 12-minute standing ovation. Starring César Award-winning actor Pierre Niney, the film follows directors Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte’s two-part adaption of The Three Musketeers. 

In 1815 Marseilles, Edmond Dantès is wrongfully imprisoned in the Château d’If for a crime he didn’t commit. After enduring fourteen years behind bars, Dantès escapes and embarks on a calculated quest for revenge. Assuming multiple identities, including the mysterious “Count of Monte Cristo,” he infiltrates the lives of those responsible for his downfall, now powerful dignitaries. Armed with a newfound fortune and a burning desire for vengeance, Dantès meticulously plans to destroy the friends who betrayed him and the corrupt magistrate who condemned him. As his plot unfolds, Dantès discovers that the price of revenge comes at a heavy cost to his soul. Based on Alexandre Dumas’ 1844 novel, this adaptation of the timeless tale explores the lengths one man will go to right the wrongs done to him, even as it threatens to consume him.
