ON GUARD<\/h2>\nON GUARD<\/h2>\n| 1997 \/ 2017\u00a0 – 120′ –\u00a0 Classic – Digitally Restored 20th Anniversary – Adventures – First premiering at COLCOA in 1998, this swashbuckling classic co-written and directed by Philippe de Broca (THAT MAN FROM RIO – Also on COLCOA VIRTUAL CINEMA – ), is presented with an all-new digital restoration, and the swordplay never looked so good. Romance and revenge are the main ingredients in this sweeping adventure, set amid a lavish 17th\u00a0century backdrop.\u00a0Daniel Auteuil\u00a0plays the stalwart Lagard\u00e8re, a man of humble origins, but whose skill with a sword earns him the patronage of the flamboyant Duke of Nevers. The closest known heir to the Duke\u2019s considerable fortune is his slithery cousin, Count Gonzague, so when the Duke resolves to marry the mother of his newly discovered child, the conniving Count schemes to block their union at all costs. Lagard\u00e8re is tasked to protect the Duke\u2019s infant daughter by hiding out with an itinerant theater troupe and raising the girl himself.\u00a0 As his young charge, Aurore, grows into a radiant young woman, Lagard\u00e8re adds a new theatrical twist to his formidable fencing abilities, hoping that one day he will have the chance to avenge his patron and restore Aurore as the rightful heir.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ON GUARD | 1997 \/ 2017\u00a0 – 120′ –\u00a0 Classic – Digitally Restored 20th Anniversary – Adventures – Written by Jean Cosmos,\u00a0J\u00e9r\u00f4me\u00a0Tonnerre, Philippe de Broca.
