THE RED EMPRESS (Adamov/Dufaux) 1999-2003

Quarrels in the household

Through science fiction to the Russian past... We can forget about a precise time frame. The deliberate anachronisms put the story itself in the foreground. This could only come from the mind of screenwriter Jean Dufaux (The Vultures, Djinn). Historical futuristic fiction with a touch of history. Dufaux knows what to do with it.

Catherine the Great was a famous Russian queen. Her marriage to Tsar Peter III was not really a success. She had no respect for this infantile man. She became the Queen of All the Russias, although she was born as a German princess.

We meet Nicolas Pancock who provides action on a train. The merchandise is actually a nuclear warhead. Rostan also plays a striking role. He is neither man nor machine and has a wooden leg as a left leg. Although, occasionally also as a right leg... Fiction, you know! The real leading role is for a strong woman (even then), Adja, who is looking for the right lovers for her mistress. Adja ends up in the Lermontov-Skan, a kind of modern croque-monsieur. This is how she loses her memory, but radioactive water can work wonders. The law of the anvils still provides the necessary tension. Catherine's reign lasted thirty-four years (1762-1796). The father of cartoonist Philippe Adamov (The Wind of the Gods, The Waters of Dodemaan, Dakota) was of Russian descent. Adamov was therefore delighted that he was allowed to draw this four-part series. He died in 2020 and was 63 years old.
