About The Tower of Nesle
In the 13th century, lovers hurried to the door of Marguerite de Bourgogne. The aristocrat who every day was indulged in orgies that were famous throughout the country. What the suitors do not know is that they will inevitably be executed the day after these festivities and thrown to the Seine.
Directed by Gaston Roudès, The Tower of Nesle leans on a strong ensemble — Tania Fédor, Jean Weber, Jacques Varennes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1937.
