Blanche is a 2002 French swashbuckler film directed by Bernie Bonvoisin and starring Lou Doillon, Roschdy Zem, Antoine de Caunes, Jean Rochefort, Carole Bouquet, Gérard Depardieu and José Garcia.In 17th century France, Cardinal Mazarin's death squad kills the parents of the young de Péronne, who were shipbuilders and refused to work for him. Blanche grows up to become a thief and steels a substance called "Powder of the Devil" and a coded letter that were sent to Mazarin, who's none too pleased.

Anachronism Stew: People dressing like Gauchos (a 19th century South American thing) in 17th century France. Cocaine was first isolated from coca leaves and made into powder circa 1860, not in the 17th century. Very modern French language is liberally used throughout.

Eternal French: A good portion of the language in the dialogues is made of modern French words, swear words and expressions.

Evil Colonialist: Mazarin listens with delight to what the Count of Tesmoulenes has to tell about his "civilizing of savages" in South America that resulted in massacres.

Raging Stiffie: Tesmoulenes got a boner for three weeks from sniffing the "Powder of the Devil" (cocaine), apparently.
