About The Marquise of Darkness
Marie Madeleine Dreux, Marquise of Brinvilliers, was executed in 1676 for poisoning. Manipulated by her lover and having kept the aftereffects of her childhood, she does not hesitate to poison her father and two brothers to recover their inheritance.
Directed by Édouard Niermans, The Marquise of Darkness leans on a strong ensemble — Anne Parillaud, Nicolas Bouchaud, Olivier Perrier — 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 crime titles of 2011.
