A novice nun (Sophie Marceau) tempts the musketeer friends of her elderly father (Philippe Noiret) out of retirement, in order to fight a dastardly scheme to assassinate the young Louis XIV. |

| That darling of the international art-house circuit, French director Bertrand Tavernier, follows in Richard Lester's frisky footsteps and takes an uncharacteristically light-hearted approach to Dumas's Musketeers. The plot is so convoluted that it becomes impossible to follow; Nils Tavernier, the director's son, lacks charisma as the love interest; the pace and running jokes are laboured. The whole film needed a lighter touch and tighter editing, and is at least 40 minutes too long. However, Miss Marceau is gorgeous; there are funny ideas (such as coffee being the 17th century equivalent to illicit drugs); and Luigi Proietti does a jolly turn as Cardinal Mazarin, a politician so devious that he ends up deceiving himself. And, like all Tavernier's films, it looks beautiful. | |
