A very good movie which won't leave you indifferent and will probably be remembered beautifully. The Doors of Stone: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Book 3 Hardcover 20 Aug. Overall, the quality of all the ingredients as well as the final product are excellent, and the great production value is the cherry on top of the cake. A last mention and praise to the music score, which is grandiose and perfectly orchestrated often epic, silky at times, and simply subtle when needed. The grain of the image, its texture, the use of light, the textures, and the close-ups it all highlights the actors' performance and pleasantly contributes to our immersion into the various intrigues and themes of the story. The entire piece is beautifully staged (certain action bits might look a lil muddled/shaky here and there, but everything is prettily choreographed all along). A storyline that's convoluted while being easy to read and process, because well built through the various steps of the evolution of the narrative. There is this greater 'scheme' and at its heart there is this 'hero journey'.

They all fit their characters perfectly, and every character offers rich layers and fills certain specific archetypes useful each in the part they play for the overarching storyline. All of this is majestically served by a plethoric cast, the cream of French acting. You feel the gravitas and heaviness of the situation, while also following our different protagonists that all bring this tasty feeling of adventure and historical fresco it is filled with a clever humor, powerful and intense dramatic scenes, dillemas espionage, conspiracies and manipulation that punctuate the story and give the film its thickness & richness but there also is a cute little romance that brings a sweet levity to the piece. The story of The Three Musketeers has been told and retold numerous times, and this movie offers a very nicely balanced blend of tones. Like a metaphor to this exquisite quote from the movie, a menace from the shadows disrupts the Kingdom of France, in spite of all the efforts to maintain it afloat.
