What's wrong with French movie industry? That movie just should not exist. Beautiful story was jinxed with this nonsense. Angelique is terrible, definitely not Michele Mercier. Comte de Peyrac is old. Common, he is 30 years old in the book not 60+ weirdo. Nicolas is same age as Angelique, not boring dude in his 40th... Degre is ok but can't be compared with Jean Rochefort. I am very disappointed. Seriously, it was such a beautiful series of movies from 60th, still perfect even now. I watched it recently, whole series. Beautiful costumes, nature, personages. Nothing of that I can find in this movie: dark scenes, bleached colors, weird costumes... awful, just awful.
