5.0 out of 5 starsAN EXQUISITE, GRAPHIC RENDERING OF DUMAS' CLASSIC - 20th ANNV RESTORATION & COMPARISON OF VERSIONS
By MyD -- The Viewpoint TOP 500 REVIEWER on July 11, 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
INCLUDED BELOW ARE BRIEF NOTES ON THE MANY VARYING RUN TIMES AND VERSIONS -- INCLUDING FRENCH DIGI BOOK VS U.S. COHEN RELEASE

RESTORED RELEASE IS STUNNING. Pathe has conducted a 4K restoration of this French classic which is being released on Cohen Media in the US. The current Pathe and Cohen releases are essentially identical for the movie itself. More on the French digi-book release below.

THE PLOT: This 1994 film based on the Alexandre Dumas novel of the same name are set on the events surrounding the marriage of Catherine de Medici's Catholic daughter Marguerite (Margot) to Protestant Henri de Bourbon. It has been just two years, almost to the day, since an uneasy peace was brokered between the Catholics and the Huguenots (Calvinist Protestants) over political control of France. Catherine has arranged the marriage in order to promote peace between the Catholics and Protestants. However, tensions are high in Catholic Paris which is now crowded with protestants in town for the wedding. Margot and Henri are not in love and form a sort of partnership while each seek their own lovers, even on their wedding day. Just days after the wedding, an infamous event follows that is a bloody chapter in the history of France called the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. A plan to murder visiting protestants is hatched and rioting takes over the streets of Paris. The movie quotes 6,000 dead though modern research states anywhere from 5,000 to 30,000 counting the weeks that followed. Protestants visiting the royal wedding would have represented many of the wealthy and powerful class of Huguenots.

MORE ON RESTORATION FOR THIS RELEASE: I admit, I was worried about this one because the older DVD releases were so bad I was sure it was the source material.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Gorgeously Brutal French Epic From 1994 Gets A Restored Director's Cut Reissue
By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on September 6, 2014
Format: Blu-ray
Like many a great epic, director Patrice Chéreau's "Queen Margot" from 1994 (it is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with a Director's cut release) begins with an elaborate wedding. In general, this is a fantastic way to introduce a myriad of characters, have them overlap and interact, and really thrust the viewer into the setting. Movies like "The Godfather" and "The Deer Hunter" spring to mind by having utilized this narrative device. But in "Queen Margot," not only is it a bold introduction, it sets the stage for a devastating historical reenactment of France's Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572. The arranged marriage of Marguerite de Valois (Isabelle Adjani) to Henri of Navarre (Daniel Auteuil) was a controversial political maneuver intended to unite Catholics and Protestants in peace after the country had been ripped apart by internal strife about religion. Mistrust and machinations, however, ruled the moment and just days after the nuptials, a horrific act of bloodshed was to forever alter history.

The wedding and its immediate aftermath, in fact, make up almost half of the film's running time. It is an exquisitely choreographed descent into madness which is hard to forget. Having viewed "Queen Margot" in its original theatrical run, I still had vivid memories of this brutality. And on rewatching the experience, time has not lessened its impact. The remainder of the movie deals with the newly married couple adjusting to their new position in a land of escalating confrontation. Virtual prisoners, Margot and Henri must adapt to each other and to the world at large.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsExtra on French blu-ray (assume they are the same on Cohen blu-ray)
By Orson Welles on July 21, 2014
Format: Blu-ray
Although the Cohen website for the 4K Queen Margot says it has never been seen, it appears to be the longer cut that as issued on a German DVD, entitled Die Bartholomäusnacht (Collector's Edition, 3 DVDs) . The Cohen running time is 159. The German DVD running time is 164. The difference is due, I suspect, to the slower speed of PAL, not to a shorter cut. The shorter cut on the German DVD runs 138 minutes.

Here are the extras on the 4K French Blu-ray / DVD combo pack:

Film Annonce - original restored French trailer for La Reine Margot. In French, not subtitled. (3 min, 1080p).
