Synopsis
Falsely accused of treason, Edmond Dantes, a young sailor, is imprisoned without trial in the Château d’If, a grim island fortress off Marseille. After many years of captivity, he finally escapes and under the identity of the Count of Monte Cristo, he plans to take revenge on those who have wrongly accused him.
Note from the artistic direction
This epic saga reinvents the myth of The Count of Monte Cristo, enhanced by Billie August’s elegant direction, twice a Palme d’Or recipient. A gripping work with meticulous aesthetics, grandiose sets and an exceptional cast featuring Sam Claflin, Ana Girardot and Jeremy Irons.
