With a budget estimated at €429 million, The Count of Monte Cristo is the most expensive French film of 2024
Chronology
After escaping from a prison island where he spent 14 years because he was wrongly accused of treason, Edmond Dantes returns as the Count of Monte Cristo to take revenge on the men who betrayed him. When Albert watches Heidi sing and play the guitar, you can tell she doesn’t even touch the strings half the time.

Normally not a fan of action movies, the wonderful cast and the choice of a French literature classic convinced me to go see LE COMTE DE MONTE CRISTO. And man, was I not disappointed!
Despite its three-hour length, the film never gets boring
When it’s not keeping us on our toes, it shows us stunning scenes of 19th-century France, making us wonder how they did it with only €40 million! I guess the beautiful cinematography and clever editing help this film stand out from the much more expensive Hollywood productions.
Thank you Alexandre, thank you Mathieu 🙂
Of course, a lot of credit also goes to Alexandre Dumas for creating such a touching story, but adapting it to the screen was no easy task either, and it was done beautifully here. I sincerely hope this film has a following outside of France, as more people deserve to see it.
