The Death of Louis XIV, GFT, 14 – 20 July, 2017
When he returns from a hunting trip one day, King Louis XIV feels a pain in his leg. Two weeks later, he is on his deathbed in Versailles surrounded by relatives. Jean-Pierre Léaud (The 400 Blows) portrays the final, painful days of the Sun King in Albert Serra’s fourth feature. A neo-classical period film presenting a darkly witty evocation of 18th century French aristocracy reminiscent of Visconti and Rossellini, The Death of Louis XIV is strange and haunting, with an exceptional central performance from Léaud.
