Movie Description
This acclaimed film presents the epic 16th-century saga of Margot de Valois (Isabelle Adjani) and her tragic arranged marriage to Henri of Navarre (Daniel Auteuil). In order to create an alliance between the Protestants and the Catholics, Margot is betrothed to Henri, one of the leaders of the French Protestants. Margot, despite her initial hostility, eventually becomes Henri's main ally in a convoluted and conspiratorial court. However, determined not to consummate her relationship with Henri, Margot takes a Protestant lover (Vincent Perez) and during the St. Bartholomew's Night Massacre, in which the Catholics slaughter the Protestants, helps him escape. The events that follow change not only Margot's life but the course of French history.

Notes
Rated BBFC 18 by the British Board of Film Certification.
   
One episode of D.W. Griffith's famed epic "Intolerance" (1916) also covers the St. Bartholomew's massacre, but from a different perspective -- that of the victims.

Editorial Reviews
"...Mesmerizing....History has rarely been so gorgeously, electrically, sensously portrayed..." -- Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (01/27/1995)

"...Rich and full of verve....Adjani still burns a hole in the screen..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (12/14/1994)

"...Adjani, rapturously photographed by Philippe Rousselot, combines Lillian Gish's silent-screen inner strength with sex bomb packaging..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (06/16/1995)

"...A big, splashy role for the regal [Adjani]....Chéreau creates an atmosphere in which his actors' flamboyance can be entertaining..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (12/09/1994)
