LE COMTE DE MONTE-CRISTO (THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO)
Recommended. It may last 2 hours 58 minutes but it takes great care to present all the events plausibly, which includes extraordinary make-up rendering the story from when the protagonist was 22 to the age of 43 amazingly convincingly. You also get wonderful performances all around, no matter how big or small the role. It's a modern adaptation so there's a surprise in a little side plot. An additional surprise is a beautiful, Arabic rhythm-inspired song (the oriental melody is justified in the plot) which can be heard also during the end credits. The best adaptation of the novel to date.
