This is a very stylish and accomplished costume drama filmed in convincing realism from the 15th century all the way, with Jacques Perrin excellent as the sly old king dealing with all his enemies at once, very much remainding of John Gielgud in his acting. The acting is perfect, the tempo is sustained all the way, and the story is more intriguing than most modern thrillers. The fact that it is well written ensures the greatness and enoyability of this film, as the language is as eloquent as Shakespeare making the film a feast to those who know and understand French. There are many French costume dramas like this, and they should all be noticed and paid the intense attention they deserve.
