Join us for The 2024 adaptation of **The Count of Monte Cristo**, *(Le Comte de Monte-Cristo)* directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière. This new release delivers a grand, visually stunning take on Alexandre Dumas' classic tale of revenge and redemption.

Starring Pierre Niney as Edmond Dantès, this French-language film follows the young sailor who, after being betrayed and wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from the notorious Château d’If. He reinvents himself as the enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo to exact meticulously planned revenge on those who wronged him.

The film premiered out of competition at Cannes, where it received an enthusiastic 11-minute standing ovation and was praised for its commitment to the original novel’s themes and historical detail. The lavish production, reportedly the most expensive French film of the year, is noted for its meticulous period costumes, complex set designs, and epic score, resonating with audiences as a faithful yet modernized adaptation of Dumas' work. At the Fantasia Film Festival in Canada, it won the prestigious Cheval Noir award, further solidifying its impact on the international festival circuit​.

As usual we will socialise enjoy snacks and beverages before settling down to watch the movie. A quiz at the end will determine who knows the most about the movie.
