Although it has not yet been released in theaters, the feature film The Counts of Monte Cristo has already been praised by the profession and beyond. This was also the case this Thursday, June 27, on the set of “C à vous”.
It hasn’t even been released in theaters yet and it’s on everyone’s lips. The film The Count of Monte Cristo is released in theaters this Friday, June 28, and it has already been described as a masterpiece by the profession and the “film of his life” by the main actor, Pierre Niney . The latter, who continues to appear on television sets, appeared on the talk show “It’s up to you” on the eve of discovery by the general public.
This Thursday, June 27, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine then launched into the summary of the film, directed by Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte and adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas. “Bringing to life on screen the exhilaration that reading Alexandre Dumas’ masterpiece could give us, a big subject, a big budget, a grandiose format, a blockbuster 100% French excellence with in the title role an actor from the Comédie Française, already a César winner, with a talent amplified by the darkness that we didn’t know about and which he infuses into his character”declared the presenter while introducing Pierre Niney and the two directors on the France 5 set.

Once the appropriate kisses had taken place and Babeth was seated again, the latter made ironic remarks in her introductory monologue. “To those who may have thought that I made a fuss by introducing you: one, I am not in love with Pierre Niney. And two, I’m not from the producing or directing family. It’s important to say this because we can always be suspected of collusion. In my defense, the press is unanimous”stressed Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine.
« Patrick is in love with Pierre?
And on the set of “C à vous” too, the feature film in theaters from Friday June 28 was unanimously acclaimed. “I will add my little compliment,” announced Patrick Cohen. And to continue: “ Your Monte Cristo is an immense cinematic pleasure. It’s not every day and not every year that we have that.” The columnist and editorialist then tried to draw a parallel with another masterpiece from the last 30 years.

“I’m going to quote a film that has nothing to do with it and that will speak to people. Do you remember the pleasure you felt when you boarded James Cameron’s Titanic?”questioned Patrick Cohen before being interrupted by a particularly second-rate Pierre Niney. “Is that the movie about the boat?”he said ironically. ” There you have it. Which is a little over 3 hours, which is not the case with yours because you are a little under 3 hours. Well, it’s the same happiness we feel when we leave the screening. You let yourself get caught up in something that then sticks in your memory and that you want to see again. »
“Ah, that’s it, you’re smiling! But are you from Patrick Cohen’s family or is Patrick in love with Pierre? I don’t know “joked Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, driving the point home and referring to her joke at the start of the show.
