Can we just take a moment to appreciate the spot-on performance of English stage actor John Wood as the villainous Bishop in this scene? The smarmy "we must think of Isabeau" facial expression, then the look of mixed shock and horror at "Isabeau is dead," then the look of appalled terror at Isabeau's appearance, then the mixed longing and loathing as Navarre forces him to look at them both together. Every facial expression is bang-on, we know exactly what's going through his head without even a word of dialogue. A masterclass in acting right there.

Rest peacefully, Mr. Hauer.

I watched this as a child on VHS, on an old TV - I did not see the out-of-focus sillohette of Isabeu entering the scene behind the captain. That makes the scene even more glorious, and now I wish I were old enough to have seen it in the theatre with that sharpness. A ghostly irony, just as the captain said "Isabeau is dead." Imagine being the Bishop, saying "We must think of Isabeau," and then seeing her arrive, in human form, immediately after. Imagine being the captain, thinking with such hatred that the Bishop's horrified face was at her death and the prospect of his own, when it was actually due to seeing her face again. But no, the Bishop's eyes were not looking to the Captain, but behind him to Isabeau. Then, the captain hears her voice for he first time in years and immediately knowing it like it was yesterday. Sword in hand, ready to strike revenge, both men completely disarmed by the voice of a woman. God, such a brilliant moment.

The cardinal always came across to me as the most vile person, pretending to be so holy yet all of his true motives were based on evil. Wishing that the curse to go on forever. "Think of Isabel"

Can we take a moment to appreciate the talent of the late Shakespearean actor John Wood, for playing the role of the Bishop so perfectly, especially his portrayal of the Bishop's holier-than-thou exterior concealing his inner obsession with Isabeau. This was actually a very difficult character to play and he absolutely nailed it in my opinion.

I love the ending. I thought Rutger Hauer was underrated as an actor. I loved he and Michelle's Chemistry in this movie. He always seemed to be the bad guy in his movies. I thought he was very versatile with lots of layers type of an actor.

same it was my mom and dads movie they watched before they got married, it reminded me of the religious persecution I endured because they wouldn't let me be with the one I loved as well.

The original script had a different ending in mind for the Bishop - Navarre rises to kill him but before he strikes there's a flash of lightning, all the candles go out, and when everyone looks again there's a scrawny, mangy, diseased-looking wolf standing where the Bishop was - and the wolf runs out of the church, tail-between-legs never to be seen again. I would have liked to see that ending.

What a wonderful fun movie! It was my first Michelle Pfeiffer film.. She is a wonderful and gorgeous woman! She played Isabeau with such grace and believability. Rutger Hauer was great as Navarre, and Matthew Broderick as Phillippe. Excellent cast all around!

Definitely unique movie with Matthew Broderick being the comic relief of the movie not an action bone in his body.

Чудесный,добрый фильм про любовь.Вспомнил фильм "Волк",где Мишель в паре с Джеком Николсоном.Тоже потрясающий фильм,а том что любовь не знает границ.

In the Italian release the location has been dubbed with a French name Aiguillon, while in English it is L'Aquila.

The actor playing was so perfectly cast as a villain.

And all because the Bishop of Aquila wanted Isabeau but couldn't have her since she was already in love with Navarre.

When she called his name and Rutger turned around there was a gasp from everyone in the theater. You could have heard a pin drop. Then we were all SCREAMING: “HURRY, HURRY! BREAK THE CURSE! HURRY!”
