Movie Club: La Reine Margot

In the third edition of the AFM Festival Ciné Club, enjoy a screening of La Reine Margot, based on the 1845 historical novel by Alexandre Dumas.

Step into 16th-century France, where religion, power, and passion collide. King Charles IX, his cunning mother Catherine de’ Medici, and a divided court set the stage for political intrigue, forbidden love, and the infamous St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. Margot, the King’s sister, is forced into a politically motivated marriage with Henri of Navarre, but her heart belongs to the dashing soldier La Môle. Poison, betrayal, and deadly court plots unfold, shaping the fate of France, and Margot herself.

After the screening hear a discussion on the film by Véronique Duché, A.R. Chisholm Professor of French at the University of Melbourne.

Your ticket includes a glass of French wine, or a non-alcoholic option, and light refreshments.

The film is subtitled in English and is for an 18+ audience.
