Editorial Reviews

For over four decades, Gérard Depardieu, one of the most beloved actors of our time, has been admired for his versatility and his expressive combination of gentleness and physicality. This collection showcases three of his most acclaimed performances.

TOUS LES MATINS DU MONDE
A film by Alain Corneau
This provocative tale explores the lives of 17th century composer Sainte Colombe and his protégé Marin Marais (played by both Gérard and Guillaume Depardieu).

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
Based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas
Depardieu stars as Edmond Dantès, a young French sailor who is falsely denounced as a traitor and unjustly imprisoned for eighteen years without a trial. Dantès uncovers a hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Using these riches, he assumes a new identity and devises a plan to seek vengeance on all who betrayed him.

CHANGING TIMES
A film by André Téchiné
Antoine (Depardieu) has held a torch for his first love Cécile (Catherine Deneuve) for 30 years and travels to Morocco in an attempt to rekindle their romance.

This review is from: The Gerard Depardieu Collection (Tous Les Matins du Monde / The Count of Monte Cristo / Changing Times) (DVD)

This is a Depardieu combination-plate guaranteed to please the entire family. TOUS LES MATINS DU MONDE is a fable about two masters of the viola da gamba de Coulombe and Marrais: gorgeous music and lots of imagination. THE COUNT OF MONTECRISTO has always remain a family favorite and this on leaves no one disatisfied:French revenge at its best. And for chronic soap opera addicts, CHANGING TIMES fits like a glove; there is love enough for all. An excellent buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as expected..., May 15, 2008

This review is from: The Gerard Depardieu Collection (Tous Les Matins du Monde / The Count of Monte Cristo / Changing Times) (DVD)

I have watched all the films and found them to be not as good as expected. Changing Times was watchable, I felt. Tous Les Matins de Monde appeared to be set in Versailles, but was infact set in a country house in France and was rather a depressing film, not one I would watch again. Gerard Depardieu is not very believable as a chubby prisoner in The Count of Monte Cristo and when he dons a false nose as a disguise, rather hilarious. Ah well live and learn. Not as good as expected trio of films, I felt.
