La Reine Margot is a bloody historical epic focussed on the religious wars of France during the 16th century. The cinema photography of the film is gorgeous with fantastic acting all round, especially from Isabelle Adjani. The film becomes increasingly bloody as historical events unfold. Whilst the level of violence and nudity can be, at times, very confronting it is an excellent film giving a great insight into one of the most difficult periods of French history. Definitely recommended
