[edit]

Synopsis: King Louis XIII of France is thrilled to have born to him a son - an heir to the throne. But the twin children lead to a terrible power grab with a horrific plan.


Reaction: Basically a silent film with a speaking narrator. You have to get used to the format, but it's not bad once you do.
