The Count of Monte Cristo
This is not vengeance, this is justice.
Directed by Alexandre de La Patellière, Matthieu Delaporte
A methodical revenge drama set in 19th-century France that grapples with justice, corruption, and the moral cost of vengeance through the transformation of a wronged man into an instrument of retribution.
Edmond Dantès becomes the target of a sinister plot and is arrested on his wedding day for a crime he did not commit. After 14 years in the island prison of Château d’If, he manages a daring escape. Now rich beyond his dreams, he assumes the identity of the Count of Monte-Cristo and exacts his revenge on the three men who betrayed him.
