Academy Award-winner Juliette Binoche (Best Supporting Actress, The English Patient, 1996) highlights this rousing, passionate adventure! In a world ravaged by revolution and violence, two strangers--a handsome renegade (Oliver Martinez, Unfaithful) and a beautiful countess (Binoche)--find their only chance for survival in each other! Together they undertake a perilous cross-country journey where they will also discover unmatched danger, excitement...and passion! Universally praised by critics and moviegoers, The Horseman On The Roof is another extraordinary film from the creators of the Academy Award-winning Cyrano De Bergerac (Best Costume Design, 1990)!
Editor's Note
In the early 18th-century, a Carbonaro renegade on the run from advancing Austrian troops finds in the province of Manosque the beautiful wife of a French marquis who offers him shelter. Smitten, he risks his freedom to ensure her safe return to her home in Theus. A chivalrous tale adapted from the novel by Jean Giorno.
