The Mad Kings
In Casteljaloux, a town in southwestern France, friendship, drunken nights, heat and tall tales set the pace of daily life. And here, men are Kings of the World. But when Jeannot gets out of prison, he has only one thing in mind: to win back Chantal, the love of his life, who moved in with the village butcher while he was serving time.

So much average
I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Terrific story for terrific performances, even for a topic already told a thousand times before. This is a pure tragedy with a Sergi Lopez at his peak, who plays an ex con who was sent to jail for having almost killed a man. Only because he is madly in love with the always outstanding Celine Salette. She is the girl friend of the awesome Eric Cantona who is here as he man as ever, even more than ever. Everything is placed here to permit the tragedy to explode. But I don't get why the screen play emphasizes here on the subplot between the two stage students. In summary, it's a rural tragedy that could have been shown on a french channel in the evening program. But in a very efficient way.
