Movie Reviews of On Guard
Movie Review: Viva la France
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't mind the movie in French with English subtitles, pick this up. Two scenes may be questionable for the family, but they are brief and overall I consider this a fine family film. The background music is subtle and inspiring, the acting great, the film quality great, the story line great, and the ending marvelous and romantic. Even the fencing is far above par (I spent five years in various sword techniques). Above all, this is a feel-good film that should leave you happy.
Summary of On Guard
The swordplay never ends in this dazzling, Dumas-like adventure of conspiracy and revenge, set around 1700 and presented here in its seventh filmed incarnation, directed by French New Wave titan Philippe de Broca (That Man from Rio). Daniel Auteuil plays Legardere, a callow swordsman who becomes friend to and bodyguard of the Duke of Nevers (Vincent Perez). When the latter is assassinated by his scheming cousin, Gonzague (Fabrice Luchini), Nevers's daughter, Aurore (Marie Gillain), is left in the care of Legardere, who raises her within the protective camouflage of a traveling troupe of actors. Years later, back in Paris, Legardere exacts a complicated retribution under Gonzague's nose, determined to give Aurore the life and inheritance she deserves. This exceptionally handsome film is an all-out adventure, but the witty de Broca is not one to settle for mere derring-do. The great Auteuil (The Girl on the Bridge) proves as funny as he is heroic. --Tom KeoghAction & Adventure DVD Video
