    A splendid introduction to the play

    I discovered Montherlant's play through this movie and I was amazed. Indeed, this is only a TV movie without a big budget. But Michel Aumont, as King Ferrante, brings all his expertise as a theatre actor and gives the film its full value. Thomas Jouannet can be blamed for his melodramatic performance, but he portrays a moving Don Pedro; finally, Gaëlle Bona manages to embody a full of sweetness and innocence Dona Inès. Good performance! The scenery is splendid.
