Cristo - Depardieu Monte

1/ If you haven't seen the 1998 French adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo , stop what you are doing and find it. It is arguably the most faithful and emotionally devastating version ever filmed.

6/ Final thought: Many actors have played Dantès, but Depardieu is the only one who makes you feel the damp cold of the Château d'If in every scene he is in. It is a towering performance. depardieu monte cristo
