The Monday Night Film Series presents THE THREE MUSKETEERS: MILADY on Monday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Tilley 102, UNB.

A true historical epic, The Three Musketeers: Milady captures all the chaos and diversion of the geographically far-reaching plot with an ensemble cast that keeps you entertained and experiencing a full range of emotions. One moment you’re laughing at Aramis (Romain Duris) and Porthos (Pio Marmaï) bickering with each other, and the next you’re on a heartfelt journey with D’Artagnan on a romantic quest to rescue his abducted amour, Constance Bonacieux.

The central character of the story Milady de Winter is the slinky, sexy, smirking and sulphurous hitwoman working for Cardinal Richelieu. With her consistency within the narrative, coupled with ambiguous loyalties and misleading priorities, Milady de Winter dominates and is another captivating performance by Eva Green.

The action and layered intrigue is set in 1627 when, to put it mildly, Catholics and Protestants were not getting along. The musketeers are quick-witted and know how to wield a sword, which they are duty-bound to do in the service of their King.

The Three Musketeers: Milady showcases a historical epic done right, littered with authentic locations, character charm, and a dense plot filled with adventure, swordsmanship, and subtle political manoeuvring. It’s a successful interpretation of Dumas’ fiction, and a delight for any fans of historical epic adventures.           

“The film has witty lines and thrilling battle scenes but it’s the brilliant Green who leaves you wanting more.” Andy Lea, The Daily Express(UK)
