Mademoiselle Mézière, a nobleman, fell in love with the Duke of Guise, but her father changed his mind and married her to Prince Montpensier of the Bourbon family, becoming a princess. Plus the entourage of the Prince of Montpensier, his former teacher, the Count of Chabanne, and even later the Duke of Anjou. Her beauty makes her regarded as a star by men and jealous of her. Although when she met the Duke of Guise again, who had already been engaged to the princess—a marriage with her was the best bridge for his career—the two still had a renewed relationship. In the end, she betrayed her husband for the Duke of Guise, but was also betrayed by the Duke of Guise.
Melanie Thierry, Gaspard Ulliel, Gregoire Leplance-Lingay, all of them are young and beautiful masters. In addition, the costumes of this costume film are extremely gorgeous and exquisite, and it is not difficult to bring the audience's infinite yearning for the life of the medieval nobles. After all, however, cinema is not just an art of faces and costumes. The drama of the main plot line is diluted by endless unnarrative dialogue and cutscenes. The shaping of the characters is also somewhat one-sided, each person seems to have only one personality, and they only relate to other people based on this personality. The beauty of Mademoiselle Mezier is magnified to the point of nothingness: every man is equally obsessed, and no one knows why. This does not convince the audience, nor can it be the only element that attracts the audience's attention. After all, audiences don't just come to see beautiful women dress or what they're wearing.
