series

a cursed monarchy

A series by Josée DAYAN

Historical . Drama
2005

with Jeanne MOREAU, Philippe TORRETON, Jeanne BALIBAR, Julie GAYET, Jacques SPIESSER, Julie DEPARDIEU, Eric RUFF

Synopsis :  In 1313, as the Grand Master of the Knights Templar burned at the stake, he hurled this threat at his executioners : "A curse on you! Within a year I shall call you before the court of God to receive your just punishment! A curse on you all down to the thirteenth generation of your line!" Did the curse come true? The fact is that all those named were to meet a violent death: the Pope, Nogaret, King Philippe le Bel, his three sons - all would perish. The Accursed Kings is a fabulous, violent saga even as we thrill to the deeds of compelling, colorful, unforgettable characters.

Synopsis :  It all started in London, outside Highgate cemetery, where Danglard and Camille make a macabre discovery: 19 pairs of shoes, with a foot in each one. A severed foot. Events then jump to a house in a Parisian suburb, where Adamsberg and Retancourt are confronted with the bloodiest massacre of their careers: a body chopped into so many pieces that there's nothing left of it. As Adamsberg's Austrian counterpart says, whoever did that is a Zerquetscher.
