It is one of the most ambitious French films of recent years. The diptych The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan and The Three Musketeers: Milady brought an epic wind to French cinemas in 2023 with great public success (3,432,815 million admissions for the first opus in April, 2,583,788 viewers for the second part in December. ).
The budget is 72 million euros
Adapted from the seminal works of Alexandre Dumas, this production featured an impressive cast led by François Civil, Vincent Cassel, Romain Duris, Pio Marmay, Eva Green, Lina Khoudry, Louis Garrel and Vicky Cripps. And it benefited from an equally impressive budget of €72 million, large-scale real-life sets, immersive sequence shots, an intense nine months of preparation, an epic eight-month shoot and more than 300 staff and collaborators.
It’s heavy, very heavy!
So it’s a successful bet for director Martin Bourboulon… with the possible exception of a few spurious connections that Michel and Michele were happy to spot. Not sparing either the Musketeers or Richelieu and Millet, AlloCiné’s technical specialists bring out the fruits of their discoveries in this new video. Secrets that could shake the kingdom of France… yes, yes!
Badly coordinated extras, capricious frames, a double that shows too much, a shadow that changes between two shots, or a musketeer who dresses and undresses when he’s not telling lies to his lover: it’s heavy, very heavy, and you can see it. This is in the video above. Watch out!
The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan and The Three Musketeers: Milady are both available on VOD, DVD and Blu-ray.
