Le Comte de Monte Cristo | The Count of Monte Cristo (2024) dir. Matthieu Delaporte & Alexandre de La Patellière

“The Count of Monte Cristo,” one of four films on France’s shortlist for the country’s official submission to the Academy Awards, will open on Dec. 20 in U.S. theaters. Samuel Goldwyn Films plans to campaign the three-hour adventure drama in all categories including best picture, with the release to roll out nationwide after its bow. [...] “The Count of Monte Cristo” premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it received a lengthy standing ovation and positive reviews. It will make its U.S. premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival and then play events including the American French Film Festival in Los Angeles. Currently sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, “The Count of Monte Cristo” has sold more than 8 million tickets in France and grossed over $75 so far internationally, with most major markets still to come.

There have been approximately one billion stage, film, and TV adaptations of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, and most of them (save for the 1998 French TV miniseries*) fail in exactly the same ways for most of the same reasons. The new 2024 iteration, by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière, is no different, and about the only thing it has going for it is that it isn't AS actively offensive as their ghastly THREE MUSKETEERS adaptation last year.

(* The 1998 French TV version fails instead because it stars Gérard Depardieu, who was and remains a massive creep.)

I love the book, although I haven't read it often because it's a project — well over a thousand pages, full of what appear to be tangents and aren't — but nearly all the adaptations try to boil it down to a simple-minded, contrived drama about wrongful imprisonment and lost love, discarding most of the novel's sprawling melodrama and changing its narrative center of gravity, and by the end I always wonder why they bothered.

MUSKETEERS benefits most when screenwriters keep their grubby little fingers off the plot beyond whatever condensation is needed to fit the running time. To make MONTE CRISTO work as even a 2½-hour movie, I think it might need a more dramatic restructuring of the story.

M’a rappelé que la première fois que j’ai entendu parler du Comte de Monte Cristo, c’était à l’occasion d’un voyage à Marseille quand j’étais collégien chez les frères Maristes : la visite du château d’If m��avait impressionné. Durant le film, il m’est aussi revenu avoir navigué au large de l’île de Monte Cristo sur le petit voilier des Michelet lors d’une croisière passant par la Corse, l’île d’Elbe et la côte Toscane. Je devais avoir une petite vingtaine, il faudra que j’aille fouiller dans la poussière des sacs de photos pour voir si j’ai quelques traces. Il me semble que ce n’était pas la croisière d’où ma sœur Bérénice avait rapporté un méchant staphylocoque doré. Yvon Michelet est mort il y a 3 ans, sa femme l’a suivi un an après, leur "petit dernier" cette année.
