Story:
Aka Reine Margot, La
The Massacre of St. Bartholomew in France happened on the evening of 24 Aug 1572, a bloody religious war. A pre-arranged wedding between Margot de Valois, sister of the immature Catholic King Charles IX, and the Hugenot King Henri of Navarre was supposed to ensure peace. The inevitable finally happened
My review:
A very powerful recount of a terrible historical event. The ugly side of power struggle and religious conflict. The killing scenes are very vivid...

When Charles IX pressed down Margot?s head to accept the wedding with Henri of Navarre, I gave a little cry with surprise at a theater.
Well, Isabelle Adjani is beautiful and looks so young! Margot must be a teenager in this film but Adjani was in 40?s (maybe?) during the shooting.
