The Mad Kings Trailers

In Casteljaloux, a town in southwestern France, friendship, drunken nights, heat and tall tales set the pace of daily life. And here, men are Kings of the World. But when Jeannot gets out of prison, he has only one thing in mind: to win back Chantal, the love of his life, who moved in with the village butcher while he was serving time. A Greek tragedy that soon takes on the feel of a Western…

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
GUENOT PHILIPPE Terrific story for terrific performances, even for a topic already told a thousand times before. This is a pure tragedy with a Sergi Lopez at his peak, who plays an ex con who was sent to jail for having almost killed a man. Only because he is madly in love with the always outstanding Celine Salette. She is the girl friend of the awesome Eric Cantona who is here as he man as ever, even more than ever. Everything is placed here to permit the tragedy to explode. But I don't get why the screen play emphasizes here on the subplot between the two stage students. In summary, it's a rural tragedy that could have been shown on a french channel in the evening program. But in a very efficient way.
