The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan
The first of the two-part French blockbuster treatment of Alexandre Dumas’ oft-filmed and beloved novel of 1844, set in early 17th century France where a spirited young swordsman, Charles D’Artagnan (François Civil) ventures to join the King’s elite Musketeers of the Guard.
Along the way, he narrowly escapes death whilst heroically saving a woman from being kidnapped. In his efforts to enlist, D’Artagnan manages to offend the sensibilities of three of the most formidable Musketeers in the ranks, Athos (Vincent Cassel), Porthos (Pio Marmaï) and Aramis (Romain Duris). But D’Artagnan soon wins them over, and his dedication to help his newfound friends and serve King Louis XIII (Louis Garrel) will lead him not only into the path of the mysterious Milady de Winter (Eva Green) and the Queen’s consort Constance (Lyna Khoudri), but the heart of a conspiracy where the future of the nation itself is at stake.
Lavishly produced with a budget of over €70 million, the adaptation is both respectful of its source but enriched with contemporary touches; full of humour, romance, palace intrigue and pulse-pounding action.
“The staging and tone are determinedly old-fashioned, and the atmosphere of romance and danger only amplified by the glorious French settings.” ~Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
“This is a lavishly produced, very enjoyable innocent pleasure.” ~Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
