Why watch this film?
The French story of The Three Musketeers, written by Alexandre Dumas, is one of the oldest and most retold in recent decades on film, television, and even in literary reinterpretations. The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan is a great French production that seeks to tell this story again, but with rarely seen precision: director Martin Bourboulon (Eiffel), from the script by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière (both from Lo mejor está por venir), brings all the possible details from the novel. It's no surprise that the promise is that another movie will come, this time focused on the character of Milady (Eva Green). This ends up being a double-edged sword: on the one hand, the movie must be enjoyable for those who already know the story and remember even details from Dumas's writing, seeing on screen characters that, for decades, have gone through various interpretations, from Gene Kelly to Logan Lerman. Here, the essence has been preserved. But, on the other hand, The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan is also too hard to follow. By putting on screen the essence of a book, even taking out small details, there are still many stories and characters, and it is difficult to follow all the subplots and what everyone involved wants. At least, it's still Dumas: a historical adventure with good moments and that, at the very least, is guaranteed fun at the movies.

Eiffel
'Eiffel' draws attention from its protagonist. The movie tells the story of engineer Gustave Eiffel (Romain Duris, 'All the Money in the World') and the construction of the tower that bears his name and has become the symbol of Paris. The architectural work was inspired by his forbidden love for Adrienne Bourgès (Emma Mackey from 'Sex Education', in her debut in French cinema). Directed by Martin Bourboulon ('French Relationship'), the movie has already been called the 'French Titanic' for telling a dramatic love story that brings a context of a real historical event - and also for its big budget, worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. In other words, those who come looking to learn about the history of the Eiffel Tower will find here a lot of creative freedom. Those who, on the other hand, are looking for an intense love story, have come to the right place.
The Three Musketeers Part II: Milady
The second of the two-part adaptation of "The Three Musketeers" by Martin Bourboulon (Eiffel), initiated with "D'Artagnan." In "Milady," we pick up the story where its predecessor left off: D'Artagnan (François Civil) is captured after witnessing the kidnapping of his beloved Constance (Lyna Khoudri), and he must join forces with the spy Milady de Winter (Eva Green) to locate her, while war erupts in France and his friends, the Musketeers Athos (Vincent Cassel), Porthos (Pio Marmaï), and Aramis (Romain Duris), are on the front lines. Like its predecessor, "Milady" is burdened by excessive fidelity to Alexandre Dumas' story, including so many details that it can be challenging to follow even across two feature films. However, the action sequences—more in the style of John Wick than a traditional period film—are always thrilling, making it a satisfying epic adventure and one of the most successful big-budget projects in French cinema in recent years.
Adventure
Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
'Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia' - In the follow-up to their first Academy Award®-nominated adventure, the duo returns to Ernest's home in Gibberitia, a land known for its musicians. But Ernest and Celestine soon discover that music has been banned and it is up to them to restore it.
Samson
After losing the love of his life to a cruel Philistine prince, a young Hebrew with Supernatural strength defends his people, sacrificing everything to avenge his love, his people, and his God.
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
