History

History, Biography, France, 16th Century, TV Movie

This film, in two parts, is considered a cultural work admirably embodied by Alice Sapritch. The TV movie focuses on the period of the late 16th century in France, ravaged by religious wars, and highlights the efforts of Catherine de Medici to defend the throne of her sons and maintain the unity of the kingdom. The role of Catherine de Medici in this TV movie is an interpretation that gives more humanity to this historical figure often presented in a negative light in history.

Catherine de Médicis was often describe as a kind a witch. In that version she is presented as a political character looking to bring France together. The acting is fine but a little too theatrical to me giving the impression to watch a play more than a movie. Despite this the movie is enjoyable to watch.
