Lully was Italian but went to France aged 14 and through various intrigues and connections caught the ear of the young Louis XIV and went on to be his court composer. Such was his influence on Louis that in he was given sole permission to produce French opera. Quite an achievement for an Italian! But as you would expect the star is the music of Lully, and there is plenty of that.

Its more an atmospheric and musical film which is befitting for the subject and a stunning soundtrack is available. Spectacular, fascinating and entertaining.

Watch options. Storyline Edit. Corbiau repeats the Farinelli formula, artistic rivalry and social private drama expressed in dazzling, sometimes excessively lavish baroque scenery, music and costume, but this time in its ultimate setting: Versailles. Secondly the musical genius Gianbattista Lulli 'Jean-Baptiste' Lully, a Florentine upstart of unbridled ambition, quickly gains the king's absolute trust, despite the nationalist and aristocratic opposition to a low-born Italian, and thus turns the normally socially humble post of court composer into a 'ministerial portfolio of culture' of Cabinet rank, complete with a monopoly which kills of his artistic rivals in operatic theater.

The script also weaves a complex web of court scheming for individual power and social interests, and even a sadistic but accidental murder on a young valet, producing a sensuous and sumptuous drama too complex for this format, ending in a freakish but fatal accident. She was dead before Louis XIV reached the throne. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia The small violin Lully plays when conducting the orchestra is called a 'pochette', so called because it could be carried in a coat pocket.

I love beautiful men in beautiful clothes. I got it off Amazon, so you should try looking there! At least one was Region 2, so no go there. I will take my chances and order. I dislike Amazon as much as I abhor autocorrect on my phone. Good luck on finding it! Try Ebay, too. Another options: I use a DVD peripheral drive on my iMac which is essentially region-free you can switch between regions endlessly.

Definitely makes things easier when sourcing films! My non region free Blu-ray player is showing its age. Lully died from gangrene from an injury to his foot caused by accidentally hitting it with his tall vertical conducting staff, the kind that was shown somewhere in Tous les Matins du Monde. Lully is shown with both the staff and the baton throughout the film. In fact, the movie opens with the scene where Lully stabs himself in the foot with the baton. Apparently, it was whatever was at hand…?

Is this film available to purchase? I work at a university and am trying to find a copy for a professor. The young Sun King and worshiper. Deal with it! Like this: Like Loading Also the shiny stuff.

Ah, here we go. In French without subtitles, but who cares?
