Le Comte de Monte-Cristo

Alexandre Dumas' epic 19th-century novel is about one man's revenge, meticulously planned and gradually carried out. What could possibly go wrong? Everything! This fast-paced, rousing adaptation stays true to the intricate story and combines historical details with modern cinematic techniques.

In Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, an unjustly persecuted man returns to take revenge, one by one, on those who wronged him in ingenious and bloody ways. But revenge rarely goes smoothly: there are always obstacles, complications and surprising reversals. The wealthy, mysterious count, formerly the humble Edmond Dantès, demands eternal loyalty from his young, cunning henchmen, but events can still influence them. In the end, Dumas wonders: can another emotion, more noble and powerful, replace the lust for revenge?
