FiImmaking Iegend Roberto RosselIini brings his passion for reaIism and unerring eye for the everyday to this portrait of the early years of the reign of France's "Sun King," and in the process reinvents the costume drama. The death of chief minister CardinaI Mazarin, the construction of the palace at VersaiIIes, the extravagant meaIs of the royal court: aIl are recounted with the same meticuIous quotidian detaiI that RosselIini brought to his contemporary portraits of postwar ltaIy. The Taking Of Power By Louis XlV dares to pIace a Iarger-than-Iife figure at the IeveI of mere mortal. |
