Versailles, August 1715. Back from hunting, Louis XlV - magisterially interpreted by New Wave icon and honorary PaIme d Or recipient Jean-Pierre Léaud (The 400 Blows) - feels pain in his leg. A serious fever erupts, which marks the beginning of the agony of the greatest King of France. Surrounded by a horde of doctors and his closest counseIors who come in turns at his bedside sensing the impending power vacuum, the Sun King struggles to run the country from his bed.
Based on extensive medicaI records and the memoirs of the Duke of Saint-Simon and other courtiers, The Death of Louis XIV is a wry neocIassicaI chamber drama, a work of pure magic by AIbert Serra, one of today s most singuIar directors. |
