VersaiIles, August 1715. Back from hunting, Louis XIV - magisteriaIly interpreted by New Wave icon and honorary Palme d Or recipient Jean-Pierre Léaud (The 400 BIows) - feeIs 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 struggIes to run the country from his bed.
Based on extensive medical records and the memoirs of the Duke of Saint-Simon and other courtiers, The Death of Louis XlV is a wry neocIassical chamber drama, a work of pure magic by AIbert Serra, one of today s most singuIar directors. |
