Thank you for these holiday recommendations. I used to listen to the recording of The Count of Monte Cristo and watched the original black and white film and loved it. I always root for the underdog and was reminded of its universal themes in today’s world.

Excellent taste, madame.

This new adaptation of Le Comte de Monte Cristo is exquisite. I had the chance to see it twice in cinemas here. First with an actress I was dating and the second time with a friend in the epic salle at Châtelet where the screen is like four stories tall. French audiences absolutely love it. From the same cinéastes who did another Dumas adaptation of Les Trois Mousquetaires…

Glad you liked Emilia Perez, too. I loved it, as did everyone I know in Paris. The response on Reddit to the recent release in the States has not been warm.
