August 1715. After going for a walk, Louis XIV feels a pain in his leg. Over the next few days, the king keeps fulfilling his duties, but his sleep is troubled and he has a serious fever. This is the start of the slow agony of the greatest king of France, surrounded by his relatives and doctors.
With Albert Serra’s Pacifiction in cinemas this week, we’re looking back to his film with the legendary Jean-Pierre Léaud. Seen as an allegory for the gradual aging of the actor across fifty years of cinema, this great artwork also gives us one of the most beautiful Versailles ever seen onscreen.
