The day after I saw this film for the first time, I had to sit down and
watch it again. Not because I thought I'd missed something, but because the
story and visuals are so compelling that it's the kind of film you're drawn
to watch again and again.Lars Von Trier has created a world of darkness - both literal and
figurative. I can't recall a single scene in this film that takes pla...

Dumas' classic wonderful vivid novel sucks you in with its intrigue at the
highest levels, the moral contrasts, the cleverness, the adventure.I was very surprised at just how fine this was - the cast is of the highest
caliber - Ian Holm, Patrick McGoohan, Ralph Richardson, Louis Jourdan - an
extraordinary Richard Chamberlin and a very pretty Jenny Agutter (though her
character is r...
