An extremely stylish movie, Lupin is a legendary French jewel thief exactly the way Sherlock Holmes is a legendary detective. This movie shows his life from childhood to middle age and mostly involves his relationship with The Countess, an apparently immortal thief/killer/politcal intriguer. There are royalist plots, fabulous treasures, daring robberies, guns, horses, and women in full corsets and dresses.
A nice period piece with all sorts of action and adventure, plus some mystery and a love story thrown in for bonus points.
