Le Comte du Monte Cristo
Jun. 13th, 2007 02:43 pmLe Comte du Monte Cristo
Starring Gérard Depardieu
400 minutes (NR)
French w/ English subtitles
The original Bravo mini-series, and no, I didn't watch the whole 6 hours and 40 minutes at once. I saw about three-fourths of it during French class and only now got around to checking it out from the library to finish.
Overall, I found this adaptations relatively faithful to the original novel. A few minor differences are present, such as Haydée's method of proving her identity (gorgeously suspenseful in the film and not quite so dramatic in Dumas's version). ( Spoilers )
More on comparisons in the next post...
