"Perhaps, "Queen Margot" is not great, but it can definitely leave a heavy mark in film history. The plot of the film is not complicated, it is based on the original book of Alexandre Dumas, and fully shows the tragic love story of Queen Margaret of Henry IV.

Marguerite did not love Henry IV, she really loved Joseph Boniface de Lamour, but for the sake of politics, she could only marry Henry IV, even if she made silent resistance at the wedding, she could not stop her brother Charles IX from pressing her head down.

Born in such a family, tragedy is naturally inevitable, so when Queen Catherine wanted to poison Henry IV, but accidentally killed her son Charles IX and put the blame on Lamour, no matter what method she used, Margaret could not save her lover's life, and finally could only hold his head and leave in a carriage.

The movie itself does not have too many outstanding places, it is decent, the costumes are elegant, the details are attentive, and the style of the time is restored as much as possible, without too much exaggeration, it is completely the original work directly put on the big screen.

But here's something other than cinema, "Queen Margot" made history at the Cannes Film Festival, with no premiere, no red carpet, no press photos, and no crew on stage after the screening to thank you, and it was screened in two theaters at the same time.

Of course, those who have seen the premiere should already know why, this is a wonderful confrontation that belongs only to Isabelle Huppert and Isabelle Adjani, two completely different Queen Margaret, staged a wonderful acting competition in two theaters.

Yes, there are two versions of "Queen Margot", one with Isabelle Huppert and one with Isabelle Adjani and at the same time at the Cannes Film Festival.

But the most important thing is not this, the most important thing is that there is no difference between the two versions of "Queen Margot" in terms of actors, often and storyboards, even ordinary actors, there is no change - well, maybe there is, but it is very easy to find the difference unless you look at it in detail.

In other words, when you watch one version and then watch another, it's just a matter of pulling one heroine off the big screen and putting another heroine on it. In this way, the audience can appreciate the acting skills of the two actresses more directly, and such a competition is undoubtedly more direct and intense.

I don't know what the makers and investors of this film were thinking, but I was completely blown away, they are definitely the people who love movies the most, and I want to pay tribute to them.

In the end, I still don't think that some of my peers say that this is the greatest film of the year, but this is undoubtedly a wonderful work that has not been there before, and I am afraid that it will not be in the future, and it is worth writing about!"

—Simmons Robinson, Le Figaro

Not surprisingly, at the 60th Cannes Film Festival, the most eye-catching, the most gimmicky, the most talked about, and the most popular film was only "Queen Margot".

If the audience was just average on the day of the premiere, when the fastest movie reviews came out the next day, and after all kinds of gossip spread in the small city of Cannes, the theater was basically full, and some people even hoped that the theater would sell standing tickets.

Fans, journalists, and film critics all want to see it and want to know what this movie, which is sure to leave a mark on film history by many people, and what this movie, which is known as the most direct and fierce confrontation between actresses, will look like.

As for the others, Roland Joffe's "The Ministry", the Swedish-French co-production "Sacrifice", and Martin Scorsese's "Eight Hours Away" were all squeezed into the corner.

In the past two days, the media that did not report on the situation of "Queen Margot" at large lengths were not considered influential media.

"Here, all of us would like to apologize to the two Isabel in the first place, for the sake of this film, in order for them to show their acting skills perfectly, we have kept them a secret and have done a long shooting. In the exhibition hall of the press conference, Patrice Shahou, as the director, said this to reporters.

Under these circumstances, when the film was followed by countless people, but the premiere was not even held, and reporters were not interviewed afterwards, it was inevitable that a press conference would be held.

"Mr. Xiahou, why don't you tell the two ladies?

"In fact, we prefer them to interpret the role with a more ordinary heart, rather than for the sake of victory," Xia Hou said, "If you tell them the specific situation, it is likely that they will go overboard in order to perform better, which is what we don't want to see." Fortunately, after the release of the movie, both ladies expressed their understanding. ”

After speaking, he nodded to Pell and Adjani, and although the two Isabel both smiled, not only did they smile a little reluctantly, but one sat on the far left and the other sat on the far right.

"In addition, Mr. Li, the investor of this film, also plans to use the film to do an experiment," without waiting for the reporter to ask questions or provoke, Xia Hou immediately said again, "What the specific experiment is, it is not convenient to disclose it at present, but it is already in progress, and I believe that by the time the film festival closes, there should be results." ”

The reporters were in an uproar immediately, the guys who could be sent to dig up the news were all human spirits, and they didn't notice that even if the so-called Mr. Li was not the mastermind behind the scenes, he was also a very important role and played a great role in the production of the movie.

It's a pity that when they wanted to dig deeper, Xia Hou didn't say anything, and kept changing the topic, as did producer Claude Ribe and several actors.

"In order to make the film more impactful and effective, we have not only kept the two ladies secret, but also controlled the spread of information for the past year. Xia Hou continued, "And now they all say that the hard work of the past year has been worth it, thank you to all the crew members for their cooperation and support, and thank you to the Cannes Organizing Committee, which can let us be willful and have such a stage for display, thank you." ”

The press conference here is almost the same, the reporters are very unwilling, although some problems have been solved, such as how to shoot and how the two heroines look, but more problems have also come out.

Who exactly is Mr. Li, what experiments are still to be done, how much money has been spent to have the current effect, whether Huppert and Adjani really don't know or pretend not to know, etc.

The latter two are okay, as long as Yu Pert and Adjani are willing to be interviewed, they can always find a trace, and "Queen Margot" is a movie to be released, there is always information to check.

Even that experiment seems to disappear after the end of the film festival, but this Mr. Li really doesn't know who it is for a while.

Even if Xiahou is vague, with the various circumstances shown in "Queen Margot", I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money to sit at this step. [.]
