It is August 1715. After going for a walk, the greatest king of France, Louis XIV, feels a pain in his leg. Winner of the prestigious Prix Jean Vigo at Cannes Film Festival 2016, the film draws on medical records and memoirs to document a mesmerising elegy. Six decades after he broke out with “The 400 Blows” (the classic by Francois Truffaut), French cinema legend Jean-Pierre Léaud plays out the dying of Louis the Great in this darkly funny chamber film by Albert Serra, one of today’s most singular directors.

Directed by: Albert Serra
Language: In French with English subtitles (PG – Some disturbing scenes)
