Simply Perfect
Really Surprised!
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
BALSAMO is a series about some thrilling 18th century French adventures; Marais plays Joseph Balsamo. In a word, it is perfectly, entirely enjoyable TV. BALSAMO also gave a taste of how might have been to love all those unusually awesome vamps—those classy, stylish ladies.I have seen this TV series when I was 13 and I remember enjoying it enormously—the excitement, the adventure, the eeriness of the depicted age, the handsome Marais, the beautiful women . I am such a great fan of Marais and perhaps I should have spoken a lot more already about his movies—those worth watching—like BALSAMO and a melodrama with Danielle Darrieux and an action thriller like TRAIN D'ENFER--but I will make it up in the future.
