Sophie Marceau plays La Marquise, an actress of 17th century France, in
this exceptional film about the perverse times of King Louis XIV. The
plot also involves a love triangle between Marquise and two famous authors
of the period, Moliere and Racine, not to mention her affairs with the
architect of the Royal Gardens, Le Notre, and the court's composer Lully.
Vera Belmont's motion picture captures the decadence of the age and paints
a gorgeous picture of the age.
Special is
the scene where King Louis XIV (played by Thierry Lhermitte) goes publicly
into the fountains of Versailles · the first and only time that he took
a bath · accompanied, after some hesitation, by La Marquise.
