I love the costumes for this movie!!! Aside from the costumes and beautiful people (some). This movie is a great movie. It really shows the tension between the Catholics and the Protestant back in France. It also shows how violent this gets. King Henry(Protestant) and Queen Margot (Catholic) get married in hopes for peace between these two disputing parties. However, this does nothing to aid and hopes for peace. Instead poor King Henry is stuck in a castle full of Catholics who life motto seems to be Fi Fy Foe Fum I smell the blood of a Protestant! So this poor guy is constantly watching his back because he knows people want to kill him. i really felt sorry for this guy.
There is a lot of blood shed and mostly done by the Catholics side, whereas none by the Protestant. But everyone know that there was violence done by the Protestant to the Catholics? I would have like it if this film showed both sides of wrong doing. It's a little bias.
What else, there is sexuality in this film, funny due to the fact that the Queen wont give poor ugly Henry some good lovin. Margot is also portrayed in a more liberated light, considering the time it was. However, I don't know how much this is true, There are good steamy scenes though, however, these don't pervert the film at all. In fact there are a few of these, 0and there is good french nudity, from both genders, finally!!
This film does attempt to develop it characters, but it does fall short in this.
I don't think i'll watch this film again, unless i'm bored. It's not a sleeper though.
