Let's be realistic.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
BALSAMO is a series about some thrilling 18th century French adventures; Marais plays Joseph Balsamo. In a word, it is perfectly, entirely enjoyable TV. BALSAMO also gave a taste of how might have been to love all those unusually awesome vamps—those classy, stylish ladies.I have seen this TV series when I was 13 and I remember enjoying it enormously—the excitement, the adventure, the eeriness of the depicted age, the handsome Marais, the beautiful women . I am such a great fan of Marais and perhaps I should have spoken a lot more already about his movies—those worth watching—like BALSAMO and a melodrama with Danielle Darrieux and an action thriller like TRAIN D'ENFER--but I will make it up in the future.
