Film "The Count of Monte Cristo": Enthusiastic Reviews from Newspapers… and Students!

It's the most anticipated film of this summer: The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Pierre Niney, Anais Demoustier, and Laurent Lafitte, hits cinemas this Friday, June 27th. After The Three Musketeers, Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière step behind the camera to adapt Alexandre Dumas' novel.

Many students from EICAR had the chance to see the film in a preview screening. The verdict is clear: “Magnificent,” “A must-see,” “A success”... Criticisms similar to those from the press, which describe the film as “A grand, daring epic,” “A total success,” or even “A blockbuster made in France.”
