Good historical cinema
6 April 2021
If you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of France of the XVIII century, at a time when the kings were just boys-then this is the movie for you! Do not really wait for an exciting plot - this picture leads the viewer with a stingy narrative thread.

However, from the point of view of historical interest, viewing will definitely not become boring. Of course, I would like to add more drama and emotions here, as for example, Russian filmmakers did in the historical series of the 2000s "Secrets of Palace Coups", where, by the way, the beginning of the story is also conducted from the time of the XIII century. But the French-Belgian brainchild, filmed by the way based on the novel of the same name, has its own twist. Therefore, in one of the quiet evenings, I recommend to get acquainted with this picture and breathe in the atmosphere of a magnificent court and secret conspiracies, without which the existence of any kingdom could not do. Yes, by the way, what I would especially like to highlight is the play of young actors. They, in my opinion, played such significant roles for history in a magnificent and masterful way!
