Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

unbrokenmetal Angélique follows the trace of her former husband, count Peyrac, who is now living with pirates in a hiding-place somewhere on a Mediterranean island. He seems to turn into a kindred spirit of Captain Nemo, inventing a diving bell, hiding from the rest of the world, but with the political aim to do as much damage to the King's fleet as possible. Angélique, however, is captured by other pirates who intend to sell her at the slave-market...This movie was cut down to 80 minutes in my country, which is 20 minutes shorter than each of the previous episodes and 15 minutes shorter than the original version. That might indicate that a little less care was spent by the distributors on the contents, as long as the money kept coming. I suppose it wasn't censorship, because even the edited version contains a rape scene on a pirate ship and some nudity in the slave-market scene; actually this is the only episode of the series which may seem to cross the border from historical fantasy to exploitation sometimes. Talking of exploitation, I spotted a familiar face from many Jess Franco movies: Paul Muller has an appearance as a Maltese Knight, uncredited. I voted 8/6/7/6/6 for the 5 movies of the series.

numellote_8 Being on her way to find her husband, Angelique gets in in all kind of unpleasant and dangerous situations: going onto the sea, being captured, raped, sold on a market... The movie is certainly not lacking actions - but compared to the books, a lot is missing and is twisted so that near the end becomes unsatisfactory. But like it is with most of adaptations for the movies, one must cast aside the books and appreciate the movies for themselves.The movie, as it was told, shows how slaves were in the past sold on the market and how humiliating that process was for them: being stripped off in front of a huge crowd, their teeth checked... We learn what was appreciated and what features brought a lot of money for their 'owners'. This is one of the best shots in the movie and Michele did it pretty well when it came down for showing emotions.

dbdumonteil This is the fourth film in the Angelique saga.Both this one and the fifth one("Angélique et le sultan" ) are actually one long flick divided into two parts.Both are Anne and Serge Golon's "Indomptable Angélique" transferred to the screen.The first films of the series roughly followed the plots of the novels.But ,from "Angélique et le roy" onwards,they started to wander from them dramatically.For example ,"Angelique et le roy" consisted of the last part of the three which the novel featured.And Peyrac did appear in it whereas he is absent from the novel."Indomptable Angelique" :Angelique goes in search of her husband Joffrey de Peyrac who did not die on the stake .Golon's novel was oversimplified :numerous characters who appear in it have been ruled out:Desgrez,the king's policeman,Nicolas Calembredaine(galley slave in the novel)....The part of the old Savary is more important in the novel.Moreover ,Peyrac has become a masked pirate ,Le Rescator .In the movie,Had Robert Hossein been masked ,the audience would have giggled.Unfortunately a lot of Golon's magic is gone.From the novel,the scenarists kept the most "daring" scenes:Angelique handed over to D'Escrainville's men down in the hold,then to ferocious cats ,then sold in a slaves market.At the time,the audience was very disappointed,even Angelique's fans ,because ,not only the movie was very short(barely 80 min)but it also abruptly ended.

radlov How is it possible that no one before wrote a review of this movie and that only 11 persons voted on it? Maybe the predominantly American audience of IMDb is not much aware of French movies.French ladies (and especially young ladies!) and gentlemen, give your comments! The honor of France is at stake!The movies of the "Angelique" series are the ULTIMATE SENTIMENTAL CLOAK AND DAGGER STORY! A whole generation of French (and not only French!!) teenagers has swooned over these movies. So much adventure, splendid 17th century costumes, romantic love, faith and treason, it is all there! Of course the events often transgress the limits of what is credible, but who cares? Just don't be ashamed of enjoying these movies! And, of course, Michèle Mercier is splendid as the incredibly seductive and courageous heroine "Angelique".
