Hi jimmyjr,
Here are two descriptions of the same film. Let me know if this is the
movie you are thinking of.
"Set in France during the late 16th-century conflict between the
Catholics and Protestant Huguenots, this acclaimed historical drama
stars Isabelle Adjani as the daughter of Queen Mother Catherine de
Medici who is forced into marriage with her Protestant cousin. The
union leads to conflict and, eventually, the St. Bartholomew's Day
Massacre."
"This acclaimed film presents the epic 16th-century saga of Margot de
Valois (Isabelle Adjani) and her tragic arranged marriage to Henri of
Navarre (Daniel Auteuil). In order to create an alliance between the
Protestants and the Catholics, Margot is betrothed to Henri, one of
the leaders of the French Protestants. Margot, despite her initial
hostility, eventually becomes Henri's main ally in a convoluted and
conspiratorial court. However, determined not to consummate her
relationship with Henri, Margot takes a Protestant lover (Vincent
Perez) and during the St. Bartholomew's Night Massacre, in which the
Catholics slaughter the Protestants, helps him escape. The events that
follow change not only Margot's life but the course of French
history."
Regards,
Rainbow
