Video Description
On guard for magnificent swashbuckling action in the grand tradition of The Three Musketeers. When his great friend the Duke of Nevers (Vincent Perez) is slain in a dastardly assassination plot by the Count Gonzague (Fabrice Luchini), fencing master Lagadere (Daniel Auteuil) swears he will avenge his death and take care of his beloved orphaned daughter, Avrore (Marie Gillain).
Sixteen years later, after secretly hiding with a touring theatre group, Lagadere returns to the sumptuous Parisian courts to honour his deadly oath. Disguising himself as Gonzague’s hunchback manservant, Lagadere infiltrates the Count’s entourage and waits for his moment to strike and triumph over the traitorous forces of evil. Based on the beloved 1857 classic French novel, Le Bossu is an exciting epic saga packed with thrilling sword fights, heart-breaking romance and epic adventure.
