Le Bossu (1997)
(On Guard)
Country: FR/IT/GER
Technical: col/scope 128m
Director: Philippe de Broca
Cast: Daniel Auteuil, Fabrice Luchini, Vincent Perez, Marie Gillain
Synopsis:
A swordsman saves the heiress to a dukedom from her wicked cousin's designs on the family's fortune, and years later returns in disguise to right a few wrongs.
Review:
Fourth remake of a classic French swashbuckler, repackaged with all the heritage trappings of a decade that brought us Cyrano de Bergerac and La Fille de D'Artagnan, amongst others. It is perfectly cast and presented with élan for a generation unfamiliar with its namesakes.
