#Pierre Niney

[goodhairbadmanners]

Just finished the 2024 french adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo and it was so cunty and just a little phenomenal. As a fan of the book I was excited that they took more from the text than any other adaptation I've seen and, this might bug some fans, I didn't mind the deletion of certain characters for brevity's sake. It's A LOT of ground to cover and it makes sense why they might have skipped over some of the build up and combined characters that could serve multiple plot purposes. The costumes, set design, direction, and editing were all stunning! And I really appreciated how much they lean into his costume obsession. This man is so ťĥèâţřę about it all. It almost reminded me a little of Phantom of the Opera at times because of how much his book self shines through(I will say the multiple masks that were basically just his normal face with varying degrees of facial hair took my the fuck out😅).It's probably the most faithful adaptation I've seen tone wise. Overall I would definitely recommend it if you have eyes and like sad french men in cunty leather coats with snake skin cravats.

Before I die I want them to make an adaptation that incorporates punk sensibilities and maybe takes place in an undetermined century and ends with Come Sail Away by Styx playing as he goes off into post lady whistledown style murder party bliss. But that's just me.

We always find greatness in the dead. In the end, we forgive them. I don't want anyone to forgive you.
