Ridicule France, 1995, 102 mins. Set in the court of Louis XVI, where fortunes were made and lost on the fall of a well-honed witticism. This is the story of a provincial engineer who comes to Versailles with an idealistic drainage proposal, only to find himself drawn into a mess of court intrigue and personal compromise. Patrice Leconte's scathing comedy is his best film in years. |
