With an estimated budget of €429 million, The Count of Monte Cristo is the most expensive French film of 2024
After escaping from an island prison where he spent 14 years because he was wrongly accused of treason, Edmond Dantès returns as the Count of Monte Cristo to seek revenge on the men who betrayed him. When Albert watches Heidi sing and play guitar, it is very obvious that she is not even touching the strings half the time.

Not usually a fan of action movies, the wonderful cast and the choice of a classic of French literature convinced me to go see THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. And man, I was not disappointed!
Despite its three-hour runtime, the film never gets boring
When he’s not keeping us on the edge of our seats, he’s showing us breathtaking scenes of 19th century France, making us wonder how they managed to do it with only 40 million euros! I guess the beautiful cinematography and clever editing help make this film stand out from much more expensive Hollywood productions.
Thank you Alexandre, thank you Mathieu 🙂
Of course, a lot of the credit also goes to Alexandre Dumas for creating such a moving story, but adapting it to the screen was certainly no easy task either, and it was done wonderfully here. I sincerely hope this film has a career outside of France, because more people deserve to see this.
