1
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,000
We'll begin.
2
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,300
But Mr. de Lully...
Not without the King!
3
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,300
The King will not come.
4
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,500
Silence!
5
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,400
The King's Te Deum!
6
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:46,400
Don't amputate!
7
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:47,800
Not the leg!
8
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,000
Not a dancer's leg!
9
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:52,600
I beg you...
10
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:53,900
Let me go!
11
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,800
Very well, cut out my heart!
12
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:00,200
but not my leg!
13
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:01,400
Not a dancer's leg!
14
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,800
Since when has our music
15
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:52,400
Ceased to please the King?
16
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:55,300
Since you began
to play him your own?
17
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,300
You moan just climbing stairs.
As for dancing...
18
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,300
Is muddy Italy to dictate
its ways to the French Court?
19
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Dance is a French specialty,
my good man.
20
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,000
Nothing to do with opera,
21
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:10,200
that ludicrous Italian form
22
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:12,400
which few French can abide.
23
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,300
Nothing but vocalizing!
24
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Can you imagine?
25
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:20,000
The King dances, Monsieur,
he does not sing.
26
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:21,900
Music is movement,
27
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:24,700
must be movement.
28
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,200
Attracting the King's attention
has turned your head.
29
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,800
Such favours last no longer
than fairy tales.
30
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,800
The toad will turn back into a toad.
31
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:40,100
Indeed, the Italian
32
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,800
still reeks of mud.
33
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:55,800
Monsieur de Cambefort...
34
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,100
Tell Lully
I wish to speak to him.
35
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,500
The King, Monsieur...
36
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Notes follow the movement
like butterflies.
37
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,100
Caught up in its wake.
but who leads whom?
38
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,800
- The King wants you.
- He can wait.
39
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:23,900
He's master,
he has all the time he wants.
40
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,100
The King...
41
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,600
Wait?
42
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,900
Lully, Sire...
43
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:40,000
asks Your Majesty to wait.
44
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,300
He dares say, Sire,
45
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,200
you are the master,
therefore you can wait.
46
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Mr. Lully works for our pleasure.
We are content.
47
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:32,100
The King dances.
48
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:49,200
February 23, 1653
49
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,400
Sire!
50
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,300
Come! I've a surprise.
51
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,900
The sun will rise soon.
I’ll never be ready.
52
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,800
Per favore, a royal surprise.
53
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,200
So they can see you
54
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:36,100
as never before.
55
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,100
You're stubborn like me.
56
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:45,100
but luckily you're curious
like me.
57
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,900
A fine fault, even in a king.
58
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,800
A kind of personal little platform.
59
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,800
A little stage to carry with you,
60
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,800
from which Your Majesty
can dominate the world.
61
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,100
You're mad.
62
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,500
I can't dance in these.
63
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,200
I wore them myself,
64
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:08,200
to break them in.
65
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,400
See how supple they are.
66
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,100
You’ll tower over the greatest men!
67
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,100
I swear on my mother's head,
68
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,300
I want the best for you.
69
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,900
I want them to drool with awe...
70
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:26,000
to acclaim you,
71
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:27,900
for I would see you happy.
72
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,200
I warn you: If I fail,
you go right back to Italy.
73
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:39,200
And if you don't fail?
74
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:41,400
What would you like most?
75
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:43,100
To be French, Sire.
76
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,700
An Italian is despised
in Paris today.
77
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,400
My heart is entirely French, Sire.
Lo giuro.
78
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:50,400
Only my tongue still resists.
79
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:53,000
but if you like, I will cut it off.
80
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:54,900
It serves no purpose
81
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,400
for playing music or dancing.
I must cut it off.
82
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,000
Once I am truly the King,
83
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:05,000
I shall make you French.
84
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:06,600
but you are the King!
85
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,200
On stage, Baptiste, only on stage.
86
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:11,300
The realm of Music and Dance
87
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,800
is all my mother
and her ministers allow me.
88
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:33,900
Power...
89
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:38,200
Pleasure...
90
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:42,800
Radiance...
91
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,700
As the light arises from the Sun,
92
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,300
still in the fire of its Dawn,
93
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,300
Honour
94
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,600
follows its luminous train."
95
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:40,200
- Look! Prince de Conti!
- Is he back in favour?
96
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:43,300
The King keeps him in check.
See how he shrinks.
97
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:02,900
In its wake,
98
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,100
ever follow
99
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,200
Grace...
100
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,300
and Victory."
101
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,700
He has all
the young rebels dancing!
102
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,300
Yesterday's foes.
A son per family won over.
103
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,400
An excellent idea.
104
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,500
So they find you talented,
you Florentine scourge!
105
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,800
but your luck could quickly turn.
106
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,200
The King loathes Italian manners.
107
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:45,800
A pity!
108
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,500
Favour, Renown and Peace
109
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,200
now all join
in the universal chorus
110
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,900
to celebrate he who,
111
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:00,200
with his divine rays,
brings down to Earth
112
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:02,800
Life and Light.
113
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,500
This child...
114
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,300
He is no longer a child, Madam,
115
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,500
he is a king.
116
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,400
Eight years later March 10, 1661
117
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:37,400
Oh Lord, don't let me tremble.
118
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:39,800
Often I cannot find the words,
119
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:42,000
and though I would not admit it,
120
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:45,100
I'm often beset by doubt.
121
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,200
My mother will oppose me.
122
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,300
I must resist.
123
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Stand up to her anger, her tears.
124
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,900
I must speak clearly and firmly,
suffer no argument.
125
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:03,500
Lord, I beg you, do not forsake me.
126
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,100
The Cardinal is dead.
127
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,500
Now is the time.
128
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,300
Gentlemen.
129
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,600
Madam.
130
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,200
Today, the theatre inaugurates
a new drama.
131
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:58,000
Until now,
I have Let my ministers govern
132
00:14:58,100 --> 00:14:59,900
under the late Cardinal,
133
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,100
Mazarin.
134
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,200
Henceforth, I rule alone.
135
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,900
I shall govern on my own.
136
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:17,800
You will counsel me if I request it.
137
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,400
I order you to sign nothing,
138
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:24,900
not even a passport,
without my consent.
139
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Such is my will, gentlemen.
140
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,200
Now you must obey it.
141
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Louis! You cannot rule
without a Prime Minister.
142
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,400
That, Madam,
is exactly what I intend to do.
143
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,100
but, Louis!
144
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,800
You have no experience of governing.
145
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,900
Yes, you know the guitar.
146
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And hunting, and ballet!
147
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:06,300
but the State?
148
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:09,300
What do you know of that?
149
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,900
I think I know
how to govern properly.
150
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:16,300
As for my fondness for ballet,
know this:
151
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:20,200
My father founded a French Academy,
I shall create one for dance.
152
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,200
This shall be my first decree.
153
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:26,100
My poor child!
154
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,100
well, well...
155
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,900
my cousin Conti.
156
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:42,100
It's admirable, Madam,
157
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,400
how he has regained your favour...
158
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:51,000
since giving up his riotous life
to adopt these airs of fervent piety.
159
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,200
At least he doesn't flaunt
a mistress
160
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,300
6 months after marrying
a Spanish princess!
161
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,400
before playing the prude, our Conti
did worse things than I ever will.
162
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,100
My lord de Conti is a Pharisee
163
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,800
like his order of bigots,
164
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:10,200
which, banned by the Cardinal,
165
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:12,300
still meets in secret.
166
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,700
As prince of the blood,
he is a royal threat and richer than I.
167
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,300
How I loathe these long,
hypocritical faces!
168
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:22,800
France is exhausted,
169
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:24,000
she is ill.
170
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,700
She needs lively blood, a new sun.
171
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:30,400
I revere God as you do,
dear Mother,
172
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:32,300
but ours are different gods.
173
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,000
Yours wallows in shadow and penance.
He bewails the past.
174
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:37,900
He fears the future.
175
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,300
Mine is the God of life.
176
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,900
He drives me toward the light.
177
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,200
Whatever you
and your friends in black think,
178
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:48,700
I shall be my God's eldest son,
179
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,200
and representative on earth.
180
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:53,400
The Prince de Conti
181
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:57,200
will surely frown on this,
182
00:17:57,300 --> 00:17:59,100
but I care not.
183
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,000
He may no longer sit in Council.
184
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,000
You can't exclude him!
185
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,800
Who is to prevent me?
186
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:09,100
I will!
187
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:14,900
Then I have no choice
but to exclude you, as well.
188
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
You wouldn't dare!
189
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:18,200
Louis!
190
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,300
I would, Mother,
191
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,000
for the good of the realm.
192
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,200
In fact, it is done.
193
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:27,400
Cousin,
194
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,200
the Queen and you
will no longer attend the Council.
195
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:32,400
Sire!
196
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:40,300
I am 22 years old, Mother,
197
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,300
and I am your King.
198
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,900
The King
199
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:11,600
dances!
200
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,100
Play the finest music
201
00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:24,000
for the god Jupiter,
202
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:25,400
Master of the Universe!
203
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,700
You'd given me your word, Madeleine.
204
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,900
Your father awaited my proposal.
205
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:09,800
I thought it was his wish, too.
206
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,700
It is the King's wish.
207
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:13,100
The King's? Lully's?
208
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:18,800
Or yours?
209
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,200
Lully, the King,
it's all the same.
210
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,200
I am nothing.
211
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,600
Lully turned your head,
as he did the King's.
212
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,800
He is steeped in vice.
He lies with boys and visits whores.
213
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,800
Madeleine, you're mine.
214
00:20:56,900 --> 00:20:58,800
- Must I remind you...
- He knows.
215
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:01,100
I told him,
hoping to disgust him.
216
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,000
He only laughed.
217
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:06,000
He found it titillating
to come after you.
218
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:10,200
When the King married 6 months ago
Lully decided to do the same.
219
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,900
Coming, my angel?
220
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,300
You won't have her.
221
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,900
Change your tone,
Mr. Steward of the Queen's Music.
222
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:22,900
I understand you make her weep.
bravo! I have the King's ear.
223
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,700
He likes my music.
I make him dance.
224
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,700
When he dances, he's like a god.
My sun rose with the King's.
225
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,800
You’ll be forgotten
along with the old court.
226
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:34,200
Madeleine chose well.
227
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:38,900
Don't, please!
Weakness means your downfall here.
228
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:07,700
Mr. Le Vau, Mr. Le Notre!
229
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:11,400
I want an enchanted garden,
230
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:14,300
with flowerbeds, ponds,
fountains, forests.
231
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,800
Ali to be built
in this perspective.
232
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:20,200
Sire, the countryside
around Versailles
233
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:21,600
is hopelessly flat.
234
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,900
The ground is a sewer.
235
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,200
There are trees on the hills,
but only marshes here.
236
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:28,300
Nature must obey as men do.
237
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,900
I wish it.
Do it.
238
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,900
Hire 3,000 workers, if you must,
239
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,800
plant full-grown trees.
240
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:36,200
Here
241
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:40,300
we shall built a canal,
wide as a sea.
242
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,200
I will sail galleys upon it.
243
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,900
About statues...
244
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Le Vau, we’ll discuss the statues,
245
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:49,600
for the ponds, too.
246
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,400
There, a maze to lose myself in
with someone eager to find me.
247
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:58,800
There an open-air theatre
for Mr. de Molière
248
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:00,700
and his sumptuous theatricals.
249
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,200
Molière, come here.
250
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,100
Start thinking about entertainments,
something with brio.
251
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,200
See Lully. He knows my tastes.
252
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:13,000
I will provide the theme.
253
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,000
I will see to it, Sire.
254
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:16,300
Heed him.
255
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,900
He will set your words to music
as he does my dreams.
256
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
We will make this marsh dance,
make this kingdom dance.
257
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,100
We shall give such balls
as none have dreamed of.
258
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:33,300
With lights to dim the stars.
We shall sing of life,
259
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,400
of love.
260
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:43,900
A glimpse of Eden
before the Fail.
261
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,900
My Lord, this is an outrage.
262
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:50,700
He'd sink us in this swamp?
263
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:29,800
The fever's still rising.
264
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,300
The windows!
265
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,900
- I can't breathe!
- The wind's too strong, Sire.
266
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,900
- Fresh sheets will cool you.
- Prepare everything!
267
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,100
Let go of me!
268
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,000
Molière...
269
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:08,900
Preparing our festivities?
270
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:12,300
Yes, Sire.
271
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,000
We’ll astonish them.
272
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,900
It's the fever!
273
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,800
We must bleed his foot.
274
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:30,200
- We did, three times.
- Cup him, then?
275
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:39,100
How is he?
276
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:46,100
I can’t just wait.
They've barred my way.
277
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,300
He won't die, will he?
278
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,900
If he dies, I lose everything.
279
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:00,700
It can't be. God won't allow it.
280
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,800
You, invoking God?
281
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,900
When I need God,
I'm a good Christian.
282
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,600
You're a strange one.
283
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,200
Not him.
284
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:16,200
He can't die, he's young, strong.
285
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,100
He's a god.
286
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:19,700
He can't die, he's a god.
287
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:24,400
How inopportune, is it not?
288
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,600
No more dancing, Signor Batista.
289
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:30,300
Tomorrow,
I will have your pretty ass
290
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,300
booted out of this court
291
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,200
that your antics contaminate.
292
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,700
bugger you, my prince!
293
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:52,000
Make way!
294
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,200
Monsieur, the baby is coming!
295
00:27:10,300 --> 00:27:13,200
Madeleine needs you.
The baby's in the breech position.
296
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:18,900
- Tend to her. I'm busy.
- busy!
297
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,800
He needs me.
298
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:19,900
Don't leave me.
299
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,900
I'm here, Louis.
300
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800
You must think
of the kingdom's future.
301
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Your cousin Conti is here.
302
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,300
For the love of God,
303
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:38,400
speak to him.
304
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,300
You've been recommended to me
305
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,200
with great urgency, cousin.
306
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,600
I entrust to you
what is most dear to me...
307
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:06,800
My mother
308
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,200
and my kingdom.
309
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,600
Let him in.
310
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:53,500
Let him in.
311
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,900
Get out!
312
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,500
She's dead!
313
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,400
- She's dead... Madeleine!
- back, you’ll smother her!
314
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,400
Let him in.
315
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,100
It's a miracle.
316
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,700
You're a wizard, Baptiste.
317
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,400
No, no, Molière!
318
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:43,500
How can you have speaking and
singing in the same scene?
319
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:47,600
Moron can say he's so used
to singing he can't talk otherwise.
320
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,100
- And?
- Satyre answers in song.
321
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:53,400
Music first, music and nothing but.
322
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:56,400
Mixing words and music!
They won't understand.
323
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,900
An audience understands
if it knows the basic rules.
324
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,100
Words and music
don't mix that easily.
325
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,700
The unconventional scares you.
Why refuse to blend them?
326
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,400
It's like a dialogue...
327
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:11,000
Let go!
328
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,200
It's like two people
vying for power.
329
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,200
Ludicrous! Ludicrous!
330
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,000
The King won't like it.
331
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:21,700
Why won't he like it?
332
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,800
You're the Ludicrous one.
333
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,800
Anyway, we can't back out now.
334
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:32,000
May 8, 1664
335
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:40,900
Do you know what those
two buffoons have in store?
336
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000
The worst, Madam, the worst.
but he’ll like it, I fear.
337
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,700
Most ladies today
can be led by the ears.
338
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,400
Thus everyone meddles in music.
339
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:03,600
One only wins them over
340
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:05,600
with little songs.
341
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:08,700
I must learn to sing
as others do.
342
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:10,100
And here’s just the man.
343
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,700
Satyre, my friend,
remember your promise:
344
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,900
Teach me to sing.
345
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,900
A song?
346
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,700
A song for singing?
347
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,100
Good gracious, a love song!
348
00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:34,000
He's so used to singing
349
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:35,800
he can only talk that way.
350
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:42,900
Let us sing...
351
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,800
Sing to my beloved, dear bird...
352
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,700
See, we've done it!
353
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,600
My mortal pain, dear bird
354
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,300
My deathly pain
355
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Wait, Madeleine!
356
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:29,900
Wait, please!
357
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:35,900
It can't be too late.
358
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,100
I don't know how your brow
remains so pure.
359
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:44,800
When I think of Lully
infecting you,
360
00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:47,900
or how you could become
like all these swine! Not you!
361
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:49,600
Not us!
362
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:54,000
I can't undo what is done.
He is my husband before God.
363
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:55,200
before the King.
364
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,400
God had nothing to do with it.
365
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,100
Wear this.
366
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,000
It will protect you,
as my love would protect you.
367
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:11,000
God is my Last hope
since you left me.
368
00:36:11,900 --> 00:36:14,000
- I didn't leave you.
- Answer me.
369
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,600
Is it Baptiste or is it me?
370
00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:31,300
He gave me two sons,
371
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,100
and I sleep in his bed.
372
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:36,800
It was your decision.
373
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,300
You're too young to be at court,
naughty girl!
374
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,400
I'm a dream, Baptiste.
375
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:02,100
A cloud.
376
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,700
An angel.
377
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,800
A little devil, rather.
378
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:07,700
You alone resist me.
379
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,100
If you weren't my wife's niece...
380
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:19,700
Long live the comedy-ballet!
381
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,700
As high priestess of the arts,
382
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,400
and certified virgin,
383
00:37:24,900 --> 00:37:26,700
I invite you to celebrate
384
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,500
the nuptials of Theatre and Music.
385
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,100
Jean-Baptiste Molière,
King's upholsterer, author and actor,
386
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,500
do you take in true and loyal union,
Jean-Baptiste Lully,
387
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,800
Steward of the King's Music,
388
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:43,300
to love, cherish and support him
389
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,300
till death do you part?
390
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,800
Jean-Baptiste Lully
391
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,700
is a usurper,
392
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,600
a sodomite
393
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:54,700
and the devil incarnate.
And Molière,
394
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:58,700
an incestuous libertine,
395
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,800
who married his own daughter.
It's public knowledge.
396
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,600
The King protects you
397
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:06,300
but God will not spare you.
398
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,300
The products of this monstrous union
will be doomed to the flames.
399
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,900
Nothing will remain!
400
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:41,000
What can be more odious
than these zealots,
401
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,800
charlatans who scoff
at what mortals hold most sacred.
402
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:46,900
The King won't confront his mother.
403
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,100
He's using you.
You’ll be taking all the risks.
404
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,100
I serve the King, Baptiste.
405
00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:56,600
He's prescribed the words
we're to use on stage
406
00:38:56,700 --> 00:38:59,200
and which I enjoy rehearsing.
407
00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:04,800
Self-interested people
who make piety their stock in trade.
408
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:08,500
Who buy merit and dignity
with winks and false gushing.
409
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,100
The zealots have powerful protectors.
You're mad.
410
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,000
People we see on the way to Heaven,
411
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:17,400
rushing to fortune,
burning and praying,
412
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:20,600
adapting their zeal to their vices.
413
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:24,100
Ali the more dangerous
for killing with sanctified steel
414
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,200
using the weapons we revere.
415
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:29,100
We are the instruments, the hands.
416
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,800
Instruments are broken,
hands cut off.
417
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,500
Coward!
418
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,500
We must spit on the old greybeards,
and your mouth is dry.
419
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,400
Take this handkerchief
before you speak.
420
00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:50,500
Cover that bosom,
the flesh is weak.
421
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,100
Such sights as that
422
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,100
undermine the soul. Unclean
thoughts are difficult to control.
423
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,400
Your soul, it seems,
has poor defences,
424
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,700
Has flesh such sway
over your senses?
425
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,900
If I saw you naked
from head to toe
426
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,300
Not all your skin
would tempt me so.
427
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,000
Madam is coming down...
428
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:12,600
I must be too old to appreciate
Mr. Molière’s jests.
429
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:14,800
but I see he mocks the pious.
430
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,500
May Heaven,
whose infinite goodness we adore,
431
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,100
Preserve your body and soul
forevermore.
432
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,500
- I trust you are again well and strong
- Quite well,
433
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,600
the fever didn't last for long.
434
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:31,000
My prayers, I am sure,
Did not merit this cure.
435
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:32,400
Why is your hand there?
436
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:35,100
Feeling your gown, what soft stuff!
437
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,400
Please don't, I'm ticklish. Enough!
438
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,900
My, what lovely lacework
on your dress!
439
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
The workmanship's miraculous,
no less.
440
00:40:45,700 --> 00:40:48,900
I've seen nothing to equal it so.
441
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,400
You care for nothing here below.
442
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,700
My heart's not made of stone,
you know.
443
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,300
To love eternal beauty far above
Is not to be immune to earthly love.
444
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,600
Our senses are easily captivated
445
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:05,600
by perfect works
that Heaven created.
446
00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:07,600
How to look on you,
flawless creature,
447
00:41:08,300 --> 00:41:10,900
And not admire
the author of all nature?
448
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,200
A most gallant declaration, sir,
449
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:16,000
but don't you find it
out of character?
450
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,500
It ill becomes
451
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,600
a pious man like you.
452
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,600
I may be pious, but I'm human too.
453
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:33,000
Though such words are strange from me.
454
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,300
I'm no angel nor meant to be.
455
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,300
And if you think
I put myself to shame
456
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,200
Your charms are to blame.
457
00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:43,600
Don't you fear I may take a notion
458
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,400
To tell my husband of your emotion?
459
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:50,200
I know in your gracious charity,
You will pardon my temerity,
460
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,000
And that you will bear in mind,
461
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,600
I'm human, and not blind.
462
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,500
Sit down, Madam.
463
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:05,700
Kindly cease this commotion.
464
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,200
Your manners, your protégés,
465
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:10,700
your life cause the commotion.
466
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,100
You will account to God for it.
467
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:16,000
I’ll work things out with Him.
468
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:20,500
Without sacred values,
no reign can endure.
469
00:42:22,300 --> 00:42:24,500
You are the Church's eldest son.
470
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,300
Don't be its shameful son.
471
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,700
Molière is a good servant, Madam.
472
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,300
His play is merely a farce.
473
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,200
It made many people laugh
and did not displease me.
474
00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:40,000
between Christ and a lowly buffoon,
you choose the buffoon?
475
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,100
No, Louis,
476
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,300
so long as I live,
nothing shall be done to those
477
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,300
who spur the progress of devotion.
478
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:49,900
Molière is a devil.
479
00:42:50,300 --> 00:42:53,000
A devil in man's clothing,
the vilest sinner
480
00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:54,500
that ever lived.
481
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,300
He must do public penance
482
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,800
for his lewd, irreligious poetry.
483
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:02,700
Sire, think of the consequences.
484
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,600
The Church condemns this play.
485
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:10,400
The Church has no mission
to dictate to the King of France.
486
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,600
The theatre, you will agree, Sire,
487
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:16,900
must not judge the Church
nor its advocates.
488
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,100
Louis,
489
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:20,300
it is Molière
490
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,500
or war with the high clergy.
491
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:23,800
Another rebellion...
492
00:43:23,900 --> 00:43:25,600
Is that what you want?
493
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:28,700
Will you defy the voice of God?
494
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:10,000
Armande is young.
495
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:11,900
You’ll have other children.
496
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:15,400
My mother lost three,
and still has four.
497
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:45,400
There's worse, my friend.
498
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:50,300
The King has banned your play.
499
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:52,900
He's banned Tartuffe.
500
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,400
but he commissioned the play.
501
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,700
The Queen Mother's clique has won.
502
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,200
Someone had to be sacrificed.
503
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,400
I read him a few scenes.
504
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:09,900
He had me modify each one.
505
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:12,400
They weren't harsh enough for him.
506
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,700
The old courtiers are using you
to get at the King.
507
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,000
Once the King silences the zealots,
508
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,700
once he rules alone,
he will impose your play.
509
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,000
Words burn, Baptiste.
510
00:45:34,100 --> 00:45:38,500
but with music you can say anything
and remain above reproach.
511
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,200
Look at me. I don't know failure.
It's a meaningless word.
512
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:46,500
Yes, it is the coward speaking.
Fear gives me wings,
513
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,900
it makes me run like the wind.
I'm afraid.
514
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,300
Afraid since the day I arrived
with my three penny violin.
515
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,700
Afraid to be sent back to Italy,
516
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,900
to have no one to compose for,
to set dancing.
517
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,900
Fear ensured my success.
518
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,800
Music is the queen.
519
00:46:02,900 --> 00:46:05,000
We must wed her to the King.
520
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,200
I will write enchanted music
and you a story,
521
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:12,600
to accompany my music,
are we clear on that?
522
00:46:12,700 --> 00:46:15,700
No explicit messages,
no slings or arrows.
523
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,100
Our art is a political tool,
it uses grace
524
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,800
and emotion
525
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,300
to turn the listener inside out,
without his noticing.
526
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:30,800
I don't know...
527
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:33,200
I can't...
528
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:34,700
Yes, you can.
529
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,400
Come. You must live.
530
00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:38,700
Our life is a stage, you know that.
531
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,700
Or else death will claim you.
532
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:42,600
Come with me.
533
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,700
We’ll scorch the asses of the zealots,
the Queen, the King if you wish.
534
00:48:16,500 --> 00:48:18,000
What have you done?
535
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:22,700
- Baptiste, what have you done?
- If I only knew.
536
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,600
Try as I may,
I can remember nothing.
537
00:48:26,700 --> 00:48:27,900
Oh, my God!
538
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Don't mention Him, please!
539
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,800
You've been drinking?
540
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:39,000
A lot.
541
00:48:41,500 --> 00:48:43,000
And all the rest,
542
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:44,700
as usual. I don't remember.
543
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:50,400
The marquis's page...
544
00:48:51,700 --> 00:48:53,800
lovely as a girl,
better than a girl...
545
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,600
Lying on me naked this morning...
546
00:48:58,700 --> 00:49:00,500
with his throat cut.
547
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:03,800
You killed him?
548
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,100
Killed?
549
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:10,500
No, Madeleine, no!
550
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,400
If so, you must tell me.
551
00:49:21,900 --> 00:49:23,600
The zealots are behind this.
552
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,000
First they struck at Molière,
now you.
553
00:49:27,500 --> 00:49:29,100
They’ll use every means
554
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,700
to soil the King. You must leave!
555
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:32,900
I’ll get the coach!
556
00:49:34,900 --> 00:49:36,500
Without him, I'm nothing.
557
00:49:39,700 --> 00:49:41,100
He's my reason for living.
558
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,600
My talent is useless without him.
559
00:49:50,300 --> 00:49:51,500
I can't leave him.
560
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:56,000
Forgive me, Madeleine.
561
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,600
Your heart belongs to another.
562
00:50:00,700 --> 00:50:01,800
but me...
563
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:04,700
what did I do to win you?
564
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,300
I'm here.
565
00:50:18,900 --> 00:50:20,400
I'm here, Baptiste.
566
00:50:21,500 --> 00:50:22,700
I'm your wife.
567
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:25,400
I bear your children,
568
00:50:26,500 --> 00:50:27,800
I keep your house,
569
00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:30,700
uphold your reputation.
I'm wholly devoted to you.
570
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:38,100
You fill my life.
571
00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:44,900
You've become my life.
572
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,100
The disease is stubborn.
573
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:19,500
What we cut out
574
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:20,800
has formed again.
575
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:24,500
but there's no putrefaction.
576
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,600
With God's help,
577
00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:29,600
and your courage, Majesty,
578
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,900
we’ll master it.
579
00:51:44,300 --> 00:51:46,300
I ask Your Majesty to forgive me
580
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,800
for the pain
I'm about to cause you.
581
00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:52,200
I won't cut deep tonight.
582
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,700
bite the sponge.
583
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,700
Adjust the movement of the planets,
Beauchamp.
584
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:43,400
Planets don't brush against the Sun,
they keep a respectful distance.
585
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,400
They allow it to glow.
586
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,300
The aim is to stress its brilliance,
587
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:50,500
not smother it.
588
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,700
Air, Beauchamp! Air!
589
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,800
You're angry.
I'm not guilty.
590
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:02,900
That night...
591
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:05,200
I don't wish to know.
592
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:06,800
However,
593
00:53:06,900 --> 00:53:08,700
I demand you change your ways.
594
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:10,800
Do you understand?
595
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,200
Do you know the punishment
for sodomy?
596
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:17,700
Sire, I am married.
597
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:20,700
I know you’re married.
598
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:21,900
Thank you,
599
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,400
spare me that music.
600
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,700
Your wife
601
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,800
has a great deal of merit
to keep you.
602
00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:40,800
So do I.
603
00:53:43,300 --> 00:53:46,200
Consider your luck
as great as your talent.
604
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:56,100
I thought we were friends.
605
00:54:06,700 --> 00:54:08,800
I have no friends.
606
00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:13,300
As for me...
607
00:54:14,300 --> 00:54:16,400
I've not changed toward you.
608
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:26,400
Music
609
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,700
embodies universal harmony.
Thus...
610
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,600
it has a political function
in the order I wish to establish.
611
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,300
It serves me.
612
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,500
It serves the State and God.
613
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:45,000
The Steward of my music
doesn't carry on like an ass.
614
00:54:47,900 --> 00:54:50,800
France must have
the finest music in Europe.
615
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:53,500
And the most respected.
616
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,400
My God!
617
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,600
The physicians said
they were healing you,
618
00:55:21,700 --> 00:55:23,900
that the disease had regressed.
619
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:29,200
They cut my breast to the bone.
620
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,100
The tumour seemed defeated.
621
00:55:35,300 --> 00:55:37,000
but as you see...
622
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,000
I am dying, Louis.
623
00:55:42,100 --> 00:55:43,400
Don't move.
624
00:55:44,100 --> 00:55:45,300
Listen to me.
625
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,600
I fear for the kingdom.
626
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,000
I fear greatly for you.
627
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,400
Your people's salvation
depends on your own.
628
00:55:56,700 --> 00:55:58,500
If you're lost, so will they be.
629
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,400
I am not lost, Mother.
630
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,400
I buy my old enemies
with the pleasures at court.
631
00:56:07,700 --> 00:56:09,400
Gathered around me,
632
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:12,600
intent on pleasing me,
they forget about plotting.
633
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,100
No, Louis,
634
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,100
you seek only your own pleasures,
635
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,400
your own glory.
636
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,600
We have discussed this before, Madam.
637
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:24,600
Let us not quarrel now.
638
00:56:24,700 --> 00:56:27,400
Swear to me you will mend your ways.
639
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:30,400
I can't bear what you have become.
640
00:56:30,500 --> 00:56:32,600
Swear, Louis.
641
00:56:32,700 --> 00:56:34,500
I don't want to die
642
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,100
with the anxiety
643
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,500
you've plunged me into.
644
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,700
I won't make a vow I can't keep.
645
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:49,000
You don't love me.
646
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:53,200
Don't ask me to repudiate myself.
647
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,200
You've always criticized me,
always fought me.
648
00:57:00,100 --> 00:57:04,400
If not directly, you and your friends
attacked those who served me best.
649
00:57:06,100 --> 00:57:09,600
Always harsh, forbidding,
ready to condemn,
650
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:14,200
brandishing God's name
like a whip over my head.
651
00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:18,300
Never did you give me
652
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,200
the slightest solace,
653
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:23,000
or support,
654
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:24,700
or tenderness.
655
00:57:30,300 --> 00:57:34,200
You never gave me leisure
to love you as I would have wished.
656
00:57:41,300 --> 00:57:43,100
Remember God, Louis!
657
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:27,400
My goddess...
658
01:04:29,900 --> 01:04:33,300
He who rises to the heavens
must know how to remain there.
659
01:04:35,900 --> 01:04:37,400
We shall know how.
660
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,900
Passacaglia, passacaglia,
661
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,100
and right.
662
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,600
Yes. Double left.
663
01:06:07,700 --> 01:06:09,900
And right. Pile. Leap.
664
01:06:15,100 --> 01:06:16,600
And right.
665
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:18,500
And double left.
666
01:06:19,300 --> 01:06:21,000
And right. Pile. Leap.
667
01:06:28,100 --> 01:06:29,500
And right.
668
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:31,500
And double left.
669
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:33,400
And right. Pile.
670
01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:36,900
Out, Molière!
671
01:06:40,300 --> 01:06:42,200
In fact, everybody out.
672
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,400
Shall I call your doctor, Sire?
673
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:57,400
No. No one.
674
01:06:57,500 --> 01:06:59,500
It's too fast. No one can dance it.
675
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,400
My dancing master can.
676
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:02,600
So can I.
677
01:07:03,100 --> 01:07:04,200
Leave me.
678
01:07:37,700 --> 01:07:41,100
Of all light I am the source,
679
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:46,200
And the stars which in their course
Form a great circle about me
680
01:07:46,300 --> 01:07:50,600
Only draw their brilliant force
From the luminosity that I decree
681
01:08:12,700 --> 01:08:15,900
Let us open our eyes wide
To this display supreme.
682
01:08:25,700 --> 01:08:27,100
What grace extreme!
683
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:31,600
What bearing and pride!
684
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:37,400
No God can claim such esteem!
685
01:08:42,300 --> 01:08:43,400
Stop!
686
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,000
The State seems to be tottering.
687
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,300
No one is God on this earth.
688
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:27,800
He's 32 years old, remember that!
689
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,700
He wants a body of bronze,
like his statues.
690
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,200
but nature is catching up.
He's ageing.
691
01:09:33,300 --> 01:09:35,500
You saw how he nearly fainted.
692
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,100
You can't make him the best anymore.
He can't bear that.
693
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,200
He never gave up.
He won't give up.
694
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:43,800
He wants to drive me mad.
695
01:09:43,900 --> 01:09:47,600
Drink! Drink! Cough and die.
I’ll die and so must you.
696
01:09:47,700 --> 01:09:49,400
Here! Real wine that kills!
697
01:09:49,500 --> 01:09:53,100
You were to make him
as admirable in the theatre at Court
698
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:54,700
as he is in the theatre of war.
699
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,600
To push him to that absurd perfection
he seeks in all things.
700
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,500
Drink! Damn your doctor, your lungs,
your liver and your spleen!
701
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,400
There's something else.
702
01:10:04,500 --> 01:10:07,500
- What?
- You read hearts, can't you guess?
703
01:10:09,900 --> 01:10:11,600
You're on the wrong track.
704
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,100
We mustn't peer
under the King's doublet.
705
01:10:15,300 --> 01:10:18,000
We must find a replacement
for the Royal ballet.
706
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:19,600
So what can we do
707
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:21,600
to sing his praises, glorify him?
708
01:10:21,700 --> 01:10:26,300
We jump into this river. If we're
full of wine, it won't be so cold.
709
01:10:30,300 --> 01:10:31,400
Andiamo!
710
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:35,400
Can you swim?
711
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,700
Sire, the new play
commissioned by Your Majesty
712
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,500
is nearly finished.
713
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,300
It will be the apt riposte,
I am sure,
714
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,400
to the affront the Turks
dared inflict on Your Highness.
715
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:01,600
"Our best weapon
716
01:11:01,700 --> 01:11:03,600
is laughter," claims Molière.
717
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:16,700
buffoon!
718
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:20,100
He's always laughed at you.
You were more buffoon than I.
719
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,800
Look at me, at what I've become!
720
01:13:22,900 --> 01:13:26,100
Did you see how the King laughed!
721
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:27,800
He's never laughed so hard.
722
01:13:27,900 --> 01:13:31,600
He used to dance. It all had meaning.
Now he laughs at me. At me!
723
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,700
Spare me the sackcloth and ashes.
724
01:13:34,900 --> 01:13:36,200
And if I won't?
725
01:13:36,300 --> 01:13:39,400
Then go drown yourself.
And no one will pity you.
726
01:13:39,500 --> 01:13:42,800
We've never had such success.
You should thank me.
727
01:13:42,900 --> 01:13:47,600
For reducing me to a rattle
Molière shakes to make others laugh?
728
01:13:47,700 --> 01:13:48,800
Thank you?
729
01:13:56,100 --> 01:13:58,500
I've always known it, Molière.
You are the king.
730
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:01,500
Now, your sense
731
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,300
of satire is unrivalled.
732
01:14:11,900 --> 01:14:13,000
Lully, are you hungry?
733
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:16,900
Yes, Sire, I am.
734
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:20,300
Since I stopped making you dance
735
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,800
I'm always hungry. Aren't you?
736
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,200
A regal reply to the Turks, Baptiste!
737
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,600
You hit the bull's eye.
738
01:14:31,500 --> 01:14:34,200
I have an idea I'd like
to discuss with you.
739
01:14:34,300 --> 01:14:37,300
It's an art form combining
theatre, dance,
740
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,300
music and the plastic arts.
741
01:14:39,500 --> 01:14:40,800
My dream
742
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
is to stage a tragedy for you.
743
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:37,100
Stop, please, stop it!
744
01:16:38,100 --> 01:16:39,400
Stop that!
745
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:41,900
I love you.
746
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:43,500
I love you.
747
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,100
You've been after me for years.
748
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:49,800
You thought you'd won.
749
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,600
That all you had to do...
750
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,200
was to grow up,
751
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,300
to have big tits!
752
01:16:57,700 --> 01:16:59,600
You'll never get me!
753
01:16:59,700 --> 01:17:00,800
Never!
754
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,300
I have an idea for you and the King.
755
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,000
Theatre more magnificent and imposing
756
01:17:31,100 --> 01:17:33,300
than anything we've done till now.
757
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:39,300
Dramatic art taken to its farthest limit
musical tragedy.
758
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,600
It will have everything.
Audiences will dream, weep,
759
01:17:44,300 --> 01:17:47,200
come away both dazzled and elevated.
760
01:17:47,300 --> 01:17:51,600
I have something in mind...
a form, really...
761
01:17:51,700 --> 01:17:52,800
Don't say a thing.
762
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,200
It's a form of opera.
763
01:18:00,900 --> 01:18:03,000
but French in essence.
764
01:18:03,100 --> 01:18:04,600
Cambert has just finished his.
765
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,100
An opera in French.
766
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:08,700
The King gave him a theatre,
767
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,382
- and they say...
- Silence that slut!
768
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,900
You've taken up with Cambert!
769
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:15,200
Get out!
770
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,300
And you, my dear wife,
771
01:18:18,500 --> 01:18:21,300
you're a part of it
with your old lover.
772
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:22,900
Playing the bawd now?
773
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,900
Aren't you two plotting against me?
774
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:27,000
Out of my sight!
775
01:18:27,100 --> 01:18:28,200
To the devil with you!
776
01:18:28,900 --> 01:18:30,000
I'm going.
777
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:38,000
And you...
778
01:18:38,100 --> 01:18:40,600
You suck my blood like these leeches.
779
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Opera is a bastard form, Molière.
780
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,300
A pollution. Vomit.
781
01:18:47,500 --> 01:18:50,300
An Italian thing. Mere vocalizing.
782
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,200
The King made me French.
783
01:18:52,300 --> 01:18:55,100
Dance, ballet, these are French.
784
01:18:57,100 --> 01:18:58,800
You're infecting me,
785
01:19:00,500 --> 01:19:02,200
you're out to pervert me.
786
01:19:02,300 --> 01:19:03,400
It's the King's madness.
787
01:19:05,500 --> 01:19:07,100
You're infecting yourself.
788
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,400
Watch out. Don't trust yourself.
789
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,400
believe me.
790
01:19:16,500 --> 01:19:18,300
believe me, I'm your friend.
791
01:19:18,500 --> 01:19:20,200
I have no friends.
792
01:19:25,500 --> 01:19:27,800
It's you who should watch out!
793
01:19:27,900 --> 01:19:31,200
A triumph!
The first opera in French!
794
01:19:31,300 --> 01:19:34,300
In French we all understand,
795
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:35,800
you and I.
796
01:19:35,900 --> 01:19:38,000
Nothing spoken, nothing but songs!
797
01:19:38,100 --> 01:19:39,500
Pomone, Cambert's masterwork.
798
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,200
Hurry! Hurry! Pomone is inside.
799
01:19:43,300 --> 01:19:45,400
The curtain is about to rise!
800
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,100
Why? Why did you do it?
801
01:21:26,500 --> 01:21:29,100
You said, go to the devil.
I waited for you.
802
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,400
I wanted you to come for me.
803
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,300
I'd have forgiven anything but this.
804
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,300
You never looked at me,
never listened to me.
805
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:41,700
Tonight, you listened.
And now you see me.
806
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,500
Here I am, duped,
807
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,400
ridiculed by a pious musician
and an unfaithful child.
808
01:21:47,500 --> 01:21:49,800
You planned your scheme subtly,
809
01:21:49,900 --> 01:21:51,300
and underhandedly.
810
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,400
I never saw it coming.
811
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:57,500
Just say the word and I'll give it up,
give up Cambert.
812
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,600
I'll sing for you only.
813
01:21:59,700 --> 01:22:01,100
You'll write for me
814
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:05,076
with Molière. We'll go from triumph
to triumph. We'll be happy.
815
01:22:05,100 --> 01:22:07,000
Tell me, Julie...
816
01:22:07,700 --> 01:22:10,800
I want to know, to understand.
817
01:22:11,900 --> 01:22:14,400
Molière’s right, Baptiste.
818
01:22:14,500 --> 01:22:17,000
The audience is out there. They came.
819
01:22:18,500 --> 01:22:19,900
They're applauding us.
820
01:22:20,700 --> 01:22:23,800
Nothing is finer than singing.
Nothing is finer than opera.
821
01:22:31,900 --> 01:22:34,000
So you're interested in opera now?
822
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,100
That's new.
823
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,100
Cambert is debasing
this privilege, Sire.
824
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,500
If France is to have opera,
only I can write it.
825
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,800
I am your voice.
826
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,100
For 20 years now, it has been me.
827
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,500
And for eternity, it can only be me.
828
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,700
And if I decided to change instruments?
829
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:06,900
You'd lose by it, Sire.
830
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:09,800
You know you would.
831
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,900
It's a matter of your image, Sire.
832
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,700
From the heights of your glory,
833
01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:21,500
we must control everything.
834
01:23:21,700 --> 01:23:22,800
Everything.
835
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,100
I'll write "musical tragedies" for you.
836
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,500
Opera, but in French.
837
01:23:29,300 --> 01:23:33,000
You will be the inspiration,
the architect.
838
01:23:33,100 --> 01:23:34,900
Nothing but vocalizing,
839
01:23:35,100 --> 01:23:38,900
but combined with our glorious ballet.
Without embellishments.
840
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,700
No Italian-style excess.
841
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,400
Restraint, nobility,
842
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,300
grandeur.
843
01:23:45,500 --> 01:23:50,200
Gods and kings will not be sung by
effeminate voices in the Italian manner,
844
01:23:50,300 --> 01:23:51,900
but by French basses
845
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:54,900
and baritones.
846
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:57,500
Males,
847
01:23:57,900 --> 01:24:00,800
true males.
In Your Majesty's image.
848
01:24:03,300 --> 01:24:05,000
You no longer dance, alas.
849
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:10,200
but your Court mustn't leave the stage.
850
01:24:10,300 --> 01:24:13,700
Let the theatre be its reflection.
851
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,600
A magnificent, even sublime mirror.
852
01:24:17,700 --> 01:24:19,000
They will tremble.
853
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:21,900
They will weep.
854
01:24:22,700 --> 01:24:24,700
Most of all, they will admire.
855
01:24:25,300 --> 01:24:26,600
And everywhere,
856
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:29,900
they will honour you.
857
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,500
There is not another like you
at court, Lully.
858
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,600
That would be one too many.
859
01:24:55,100 --> 01:24:56,900
Grant me the privilege, Sire.
860
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:01,300
To me alone.
861
01:25:02,300 --> 01:25:04,300
I'll use it better than anyone.
862
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:16,300
Refuse me today,
863
01:25:18,900 --> 01:25:21,300
and I will see it as a repudiation.
864
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:23,200
I will draw my conclusions.
865
01:25:28,700 --> 01:25:29,900
And Molière?
866
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:34,300
Sick men disgust you
as they do me, Sire.
867
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,700
He spits out his lungs
a little more every day.
868
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:38,900
He coughs,
869
01:25:39,700 --> 01:25:41,600
he coughs more and more.
870
01:25:50,300 --> 01:25:54,300
From now on,
France shall have only one music.
871
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:55,500
Only one.
872
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,100
I need your absolute support.
873
01:26:02,300 --> 01:26:03,700
I have only one love,
874
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,600
which no one can measure.
875
01:26:08,100 --> 01:26:10,300
And like you, I have no friends.
876
01:26:41,700 --> 01:26:43,600
You can seal up your pit.
877
01:26:44,100 --> 01:26:45,600
You'll have no orchestra.
878
01:26:46,700 --> 01:26:48,600
Since yesterday, no play
879
01:26:48,700 --> 01:26:51,800
may include more than
2 singers and 2 instruments.
880
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:01,600
What is this nonsense?
881
01:27:01,700 --> 01:27:03,176
This nonsense is the King's decree.
882
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,700
Here is a copy, signed by his hand.
883
01:27:06,700 --> 01:27:09,200
I alone may produce musical drama.
884
01:27:09,300 --> 01:27:11,100
I alone. I come from Cambert's.
885
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:12,600
He must close his theatre.
886
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:14,700
You're not serious!
887
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:16,700
No more than 2 musicians,
888
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:18,100
only 2 singers.
889
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:19,700
Without music, my theatre
890
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:21,700
won't last 2 seasons.
891
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,500
You've signed my death warrant,
you know that.
892
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:29,000
I'm renovating in order to put on
the comedy-ballets we wrote together,
893
01:27:29,100 --> 01:27:30,700
you and I, Baptiste.
894
01:27:43,700 --> 01:27:44,800
Psyche.
895
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,100
The Magnificent Lovers.
896
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,100
Monsieur de Pourceaugnac.
897
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:52,600
The bourgeois Gentleman.
898
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,800
All are now published
under one name...
899
01:27:55,900 --> 01:27:57,000
Mr. de Lully.
900
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:00,600
They're my works too.
901
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:02,500
You can't steal them!
902
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:07,600
The King's decree stipulates
that all texts set to my music
903
01:28:07,700 --> 01:28:08,900
become my property.
904
01:28:09,900 --> 01:28:11,700
It is under my name
905
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,000
that these works will now appear.
906
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:15,700
Wait!
907
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:23,200
You can't take it all.
908
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:27,600
This isn't like you.
909
01:28:28,100 --> 01:28:30,000
Look at yourself now.
910
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,400
Who is compromising now?
911
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,800
You smother us with farces.
912
01:28:35,900 --> 01:28:37,900
The Court laughs.
913
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,800
Gold fills your coffers.
You've lost your soul.
914
01:28:40,900 --> 01:28:43,000
You accommodate to life. Not me!
915
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,300
I grapple with it like a wrestler.
916
01:28:46,500 --> 01:28:47,700
At times above.
917
01:28:48,500 --> 01:28:49,900
At times beneath.
918
01:28:55,700 --> 01:28:57,200
What's going on?
919
01:28:57,700 --> 01:29:00,000
You're mad. What all this?
920
01:29:00,100 --> 01:29:01,400
You want the truth?
921
01:29:03,300 --> 01:29:05,000
The real truth?
922
01:29:06,700 --> 01:29:08,100
The naked truth?
923
01:29:09,100 --> 01:29:11,400
I won't be your subordinate anymore.
924
01:29:13,700 --> 01:29:15,800
For years, you've badgered me:
925
01:29:15,900 --> 01:29:20,000
Baptiste, give me some notes here,
a bit of ballet there..."
926
01:29:20,100 --> 01:29:22,000
I won't take any orders now.
927
01:29:22,900 --> 01:29:25,200
My music won't be second
to your words.
928
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:28,500
It's beauty will stand on its own.
929
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:32,100
I will rule the music of this nation
as the King rules Europe.
930
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:34,900
Alone. Sharing with no one.
931
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,200
Get out.
932
01:29:46,900 --> 01:29:48,100
Take your people and go.
933
01:29:50,300 --> 01:29:51,800
It's all over.
934
01:29:51,900 --> 01:29:53,200
I'd warned you, Molière.
935
01:29:54,300 --> 01:29:57,100
The King's fed up
with your spitting and wheezing.
936
01:29:57,900 --> 01:29:59,900
- You're mere clay, Molière.
- Enough.
937
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,000
A cloud. A storm.
938
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,700
It suits you to tell him I'm dying.
939
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:05,900
A relic.
940
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:11,100
I reek of death, is that it?
941
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:19,100
I chose between him, whom I love,
and you, my friend.
942
01:30:20,300 --> 01:30:21,900
He is fickle.
943
01:30:22,300 --> 01:30:25,000
He loves only his glory,
but I love him.
944
01:30:25,900 --> 01:30:27,100
He's the best of me.
945
01:30:27,300 --> 01:30:28,800
This is a farce.
946
01:30:29,700 --> 01:30:30,800
A farce!
947
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:36,200
You move me to write this farce.
948
01:30:36,300 --> 01:30:37,600
Here and now.
949
01:30:37,700 --> 01:30:41,700
About a fake invalid. To music,
and to hell with you, Lully!
950
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:56,800
February 17, 1673
951
01:31:03,100 --> 01:31:04,800
The King still hasn't come.
952
01:31:04,900 --> 01:31:07,700
If he doesn't come tonight,
it's all over.
953
01:31:07,900 --> 01:31:09,200
but we have the public.
954
01:31:09,300 --> 01:31:11,300
Think that's enough? blockhead!
955
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:12,800
Take your places!
956
01:31:14,300 --> 01:31:17,500
How sad to be a slave
to the whims of the mighty!
957
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:18,900
Go on!
958
01:31:23,900 --> 01:31:25,100
My God,
959
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,600
how a man must suffer
before he can die!
960
01:31:28,700 --> 01:31:29,800
Curtain!
961
01:31:32,100 --> 01:31:35,300
3 and 2 make 5,
962
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:38,500
and 5 make 10,
963
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:41,500
and 10
964
01:31:42,300 --> 01:31:43,300
make 20.
965
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:45,400
Total: 63 livres,
966
01:31:46,100 --> 01:31:48,800
4 sols and six deniers.
967
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:54,200
That means for this month
I've had...
968
01:31:55,900 --> 01:31:58,400
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
969
01:31:59,100 --> 01:32:01,200
6, 7, 8, 9...
970
01:32:04,500 --> 01:32:07,500
10, 11, 12 enemas!
971
01:32:09,900 --> 01:32:12,300
And last month I had...
972
01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:19,100
12 prescriptions and 20 enemas.
973
01:32:24,300 --> 01:32:27,300
No wonder I'm feeling
less well this month.
974
01:32:33,300 --> 01:32:34,400
They can't hear.
975
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:36,200
The bell's not loud enough.
976
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:41,200
They're deaf. Toinette!
977
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:44,700
This is infuriating!
978
01:32:48,100 --> 01:32:49,500
Ding-a-ling-a-ling!
979
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:51,600
The devil take them!
980
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,400
How could they leave
a poor sick fellow all alone!
981
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:26,300
This is pathetic!
982
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:37,300
They'll let me die here alone.
983
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:00,800
This is new.
984
01:40:03,100 --> 01:40:04,600
Thank you for coming.
985
01:40:05,500 --> 01:40:09,400
He's been asking for you for 3 days.
I feared you'd be too late.
986
01:40:10,700 --> 01:40:12,500
He won't have his leg amputated.
987
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:16,800
He says he must make the King dance
and that Molière is waiting on stage.
988
01:40:21,100 --> 01:40:22,700
You still love him so.
989
01:40:41,500 --> 01:40:43,100
My little light.
990
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:48,100
You're here, at last.
991
01:40:52,500 --> 01:40:54,700
The King is coming.
Show your best face.
992
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:57,300
The King will come no more.
993
01:40:58,100 --> 01:40:59,200
You know that.
994
01:41:01,500 --> 01:41:03,200
The King no longer wants me.
995
01:41:04,700 --> 01:41:07,100
He no longer wants my music.
996
01:41:09,300 --> 01:41:11,700
Your music made him immortal.
997
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:14,300
Immortal...
998
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:19,200
That's true...
999
01:41:20,300 --> 01:41:21,700
That's good.
1000
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,600
Does he even know I’m dying?
1001
01:41:36,700 --> 01:41:38,800
My god, what silence...
1002
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:51,700
What silence...
1003
01:42:15,900 --> 01:42:18,400
Is there no music tonight?
