It's a beautiful movie. Atmospheric, a little grotesque.
"The setting for the film was the Gascony castle Roctaiad, located in the south-west of France in the commune of Maser about 55 kilometers south-east of Bordeaux."
Decorations and costumes are a separate subject. So much skill, so much adventure, so much mystery, so much intrigue. It had to be shown. And music (guitar chords). competently shades the right pieces of the film due to the incomparable Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel. Mark Dacascos learned horse riding in this film.
• About historical reality and reality. Although the film is based on real events, there is a lot of fiction (such as the occult). But it looks charming together.
Great movie. I recommend it. 👌
