They... Based on a medieval French legend, this poetic fantasy begins in a beautiful fairy tale setting, when Gilles and Dominique, two travelling minstrels, mysteriously appear at a grand castle. They proceed to entertain the guests at the wedding banquet for Renaud, a knight, and Anne, the baron's daughter. But their real purpose is a sinister one: they are Satan's envoys sent to Earth to destroy mankind's sense of morality. However, when Gilles seduces the bride, he falls in love with her, instead of completing his evil task -- and her devotion saves his soul. Now that his disciple no longer serves him, the Devil takes his revenge, but even his power fails to crush the spirit of their love. [More]

A lavish spectacle with a very simple love-conquers-all theme.

The dialogue gets increasingly lachrymose, and the slow pace begins to take its toll. Wonderful performances, though, and graced with an undeniable visual splendour.
