Ridicule


Director: Patrice Leconte.
Starring: Fanny Ardant, Jean Rochefortm, Judith Godréche, Bernard Giraudeau
Details: France / 102 mins / 15

Set in the court of Louis XVI in 1780s France, Ridicule is a sharp, satirical depiction of the frivolous excesses of court life.

A young photographer, leaves his provincial town in order to submit a proposal to the Versailles authorities concerning the drainage of the swamps in la Dombes. The Marquis de Bellegarde, an old doctor familiar with the ways of Louis XVI's court, befriends the young engineer, whom he feels is a man of wit. In his efforts, the solicitor of the court must be aware of the fearful results of seeming ridiculous, which can put an end to one's career - not to mention one's life.
