ALEXANDRE DE LA PATELLIÈRE, MATTHIEU DELAPORTE | FRANCE | 2024 | 178 MIN | FRENCH 

Pierre Niney (The Book of Solutions, PFF32) gives a commanding performance as Edmond Dantès in this sweeping retelling of the cherished, iconic novel by Alexandre Dumas. Finally able to marry his beloved Mercédès (Anaïs Demoustier) after being promoted to captain, a young Dantès is caught in the crossfire of jealousy and deceit. Plucked from his life and his love, he is thrown into the depths of the Marseille prison, Château d'If, for a crime he did not commit. During his 14-year imprisonment, Dantès befriends fellow prisoner Abbé (Pierfrancesco Favino), who is able to fill him in on the details of Dantès’ betrayers, as well as the location of a great hidden treasure that awaits discovery. Dantès escapes, finds the treasure, and descends on Paris hiding behind the disguise of the elusive, wealthy Count of Monte Cristo in order to unleash his meticulously crafted plan for revenge. Written and directed by the French duo Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte (writers of last year’s similarly swashbuckling The Three Musketeers - Part I: D’Artagnan), The Count of Monte Cristo is a thrilling adventure of epic proportions, brought faithfully and masterfully to the big screen.

Cast: Pierre Niney, Bastien Bouillon, Anaïs Demoustier, Anamaria Vartolomei
