The King sends her husband away on a mission to Spain and makes Jeanne’s life unbearable.

    The Kings Whore (Great Title)

    14 March 2010
    This is an outstanding, breathtaking history which astonished me. It is so moving. It's a masterpiece. The actors, the screenplay, th dialogues! Valeria Golino and Timothy Dalton are gorgeous. It doesn't matter who and what tells about this film - I love it!

    Main strengths were the stunning visual aspects and Timothy Dalton's mesmerising performance.His portrayal of psychological complexity in his characters in unmatched. Weak points are the jumpy plot, erratic editing (apparently a lot of scenes were cut) and lack of bodice ripping scenes. There is plenty of emotion but the steaminess is mostly implied.
