I read the books about Angelique about 3 years ago (I am now 35) and I loved them and will always love them (I knew they existed but never had the time to read them). I was excited learning I would get a chance to see movies too, to see how director managed to get out the atmosphere of 17 century and how actors did they roles. I was a bit worried would everything be exactly as I imagined it when reading the books.
Today it is second movie of Angelique on the TV ( 3 hours and counting), but I still think of the first, it was so nicely done: acting (generally speaking), costumes and jewelry, music.... Of course, not all can be according to the book, but that is a minor set back in this historical drama. Michele is wonderful but her acing skill is poorer than the others, and Robert as a Joffrey de Peyrac is great. I must admit that Joffrey is one of my favorite male fictional characters and had shed tears learning he was killed, which of course, was not true. :) Anyways, I hope I will enjoy the rest of the movies as I was enjoying this.
