Marquise
The 1997 classic French drama/comedy has now been digitally restored, so you’ll want to get the brand new Marquise blu-ray. Naturally, it also includes bonus features to add enhance the original film.
I enjoyed the movie, as it transported me back to 17th century France with a believable story, fine acting and beautiful costumes. The movie is in French with English subtitles, so it felt authentic as I was drawn into the film.
Check out the trailer to whet your appetite for this delightful movie!
