Today's epic is The Princess from Montpensier, a costume drama from Bertrand Travernier, and it is certainly unlike any other film of his I've seen. 16th century France. A young woman is sold into an advantageous marriage with a man who loves her. But she has her eyes on someone else. And she has ideas of her own. So do some of the men who want her.
A dash of feminism, a dash of Three Musketeers, costumes, battles, lust. Very French and fun.
