First-rate historical melodrama which successfully brought to life folks who lived, fought, schemed, loved, cheated and died 500 years ago.
A fine effort by any measure...costumes, acting, sets and locations, writing(!), editing. Too often costume dramas seem stiff, unengaging. This one pulled me in early and held me easily for over two hours.
Kudos to Tavernier who is now in his 80's and has been directing excellent films for decades.
