Le roi danse

Description
Corbiau repeats the Farinelli formula, artistic rivalry and social private drama expressed in dazzling, sometimes excessively lavish baroque scenery, music and costume, but this time in its ultimate setting: Versailles. There are two protagonists - first the title character, Louis XIV, the French sun-king who has two passions, establishing absolute rule over the realm -after decades of religious/civil wars- by divine right and artistic brilliancy as a dancer (like Nero wrote and performed musical poetry), and starts asserting himself against the entourage of his Medici mother, the regent during his minority, by building his palace complex and launching a 'fitting' new, mainly musical display of baroque show. Secondly the musical genius Gianbattista Lulli ('Jean-Baptiste') Lully, a Florentine upstart of unbridled ambition, quickly gains the king's absolute trust, despite the nationalist and aristocratic opposition to a low-born Italian, and thus turns the normally socially humble post of court composer into a 'ministerial portfolio of culture' of Cabinet rank, complete with a monopoly which kills of his artistic rivals in operatic theater. The script also weaves a complex web of court scheming for individual power and social interests, and even a sadistic but accidental murder on a young valet, producing a sensuous and sumptuous drama too complex for this format, ending in a freakish but fatal accident. Louis XIV's mother was Ana de Austria (in French, Anne d' Autriche), the daughter of one of the Hapsburgh Kings of Spain. Maria di Medici (in French, Marie de Médicis) was his grandmother, his father's mother. She was dead before Louis XIV reached the throne. Please correct the reference to 'his Medici mother' Actors: Benoît Magimel, Benoît Magimel Benoît Magimel 11 May 1974, Paris, France Boris Terral, Boris Terral Boris Terral 8 November 1969, Saint-Denis, France Tchéky Karyo, Tchéky Karyo Tchéky Karyo 4 October 1953, Istanbul, Turkey Colette Emmanuelle, Colette Emmanuelle Colette Emmanuelle Cécile Bois, Cécile Bois Cécile Bois December 26, 1971 in Talence, Gironde, France Claire Keim, Claire Keim Claire Keim 8 July 1975, Senlis, Oise, Picardie, France Johan Leysen, Johan Leysen Johan Leysen 19 February 1950, Hasselt, Limburg, Belgium Idwig Stephane, Idwig Stephane Idwig Stephane January 20, 1944 in Elsene, Belgium Emil Tarding, Emil Tarding Emil Tarding April 17, 1983 in Gentofte, Sjælland, Denmark Jacques François, Jacques François Jacques François 16 May 1920, Paris, France Caroline Veyt, Caroline Veyt Caroline Veyt ...» Genre: Drama, History, Music Director: Gérard Corbiau Country: France, Germany, Belgium Release: 2000 IMDb: 6.90 Quality: Duration: 115 min
