La Reine Margot or, Queen Margot. This 1994 film is based upon the novel by Alexander Dumas. The French version has English subtitles. It portrays the intense political intrigues surrounding the religious conflicts between the more radical Roman Catholic party and the Huguenots (Protestants) in the early 1570’s. The Catholic princess Margot was married off to the Huguenot King Henri of Navarre; instead of this becoming occasion of reconciliation, as some had hoped, the date (August 24, 1572) was marked by a sudden widespread massacre of Protestants, first among the wedding guests in Paris, then throughout much of France. As a depiction of France in mid-16th century, the film is well done, but is distinctly for adult viewers.
