Yes, it is a good movie from Bertrand Tavernier, my only critic: I am french and some actors like the Prince and even De Guise at time, not only they are poor actors but it was often very difficult to understand what they were saying, they never learned to speak and use their respiration, it was incomprehensible.The fights and the duels are not the best Tavernier knows how to shoot, but it is not so important, they were accessories to the plot.
The costumes, the sets...all without any special effects are beautiful, even if the story fits perfectly the french country with its castles still standing like they were at the time of the story, Tavernier has had the right eye to capture the beauty of it. Melanie Thierry et Lambert Wilson were perfect.
