The best opening night French film we've had. Alexandre Dumas’ thrilling and beloved classic novel The Three Musketeers has spawned multiple adaptations since its publication in 1844, but none have approached the scope and spectacle of this wildly entertaining, blockbuster two-film production from director Martin Bourboulon, who assembles an all-star cast for this 70 Million Euro iteration. The first French cinematic treatment in over 30 years.
Set in the early 17th century kingdom of France, the opening instalment D’Artagnan follows a spirited young swordsman, Charles D’Artagnan, (played commandinlgy by François Civil) on his journey from Gascony to Paris to join the King’s elite Musketeers of the Guard. Along the way, he narrowly escapes death whilst heroically saving a woman from being kidnapped. In his efforts to enlist, D’Artagnan manages to offend the sensibilities of three of the most formidable Musketeers in the ranks, Athos (Vincent Cassel), Porthos (Pio Marmaï) and Aramis (Romain Duris).
But D’Artagnan soon wins them over, and his dedication to help his newfound friends and serve King Louis XIII (Louis Garrel) will lead him not only into the path of the mysterious Milady de Winter (Eva Green) and the Queen’s consort Constance (Lyna Khoudri), but into the heart of a conspiracy where the future of the nation itself is at stake.
France’s biggest box-office success of 2023, Bourboulon’s magnificent production - lavishly produced with a budget of over €70 million - is respectful of its source but enriched with contemporary touches; the film is full of humour, romance, palace intrigue and yes action..
The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan unquestionably delivers as a smart and hugely involving big-screen experience for all ages. Audiences will need to see the thrilling conclusion, Milady to get the whole strory and both are worth it.
"This all-star French adaptation is the best take on the Dumas classic in 50 years – and maybe ever.- Time Out
"One for all! Pure escapism is not to be sniffed at and D’Artagnan is a hit, a palpable hit". John Bleasdale The Times.
"A lavishly produced, very enjoyable innocent pleasure. Distinctly old-fashioned entertainment, and entertainment is never easy." The Guardian.
"Thrilling. With heaps of panache. It’s pleasurable being reminded, too, that the women were hardly sidelined in these stories." The LA Times
