MCT:September 16, 2007This is a beautiful film, with fine location shots and beautifully dressed sets. Again, it's disconcerting to start a scene outside Chantilly, walk through a door, and find yourself at Maisons-Lafitte; still more to go from one room to the next and find yourself at the Hotel de Toulouse--now the Banque de France. And of course no modern film can convey 1 percent of what it was to be at the court of Louis the Great. And there's not one single thing in this screenplay that doesn't come straight out of Nancy Mitford's The Sun King. Still, it is worth seeing--a kind of photo album of one's childhood days. And they did have sense enough to cast a young, good-looking man (Julian Sands) as Louis XIV, and to take a chance by casting the totally inexperienced Irish poet Murray Lachlan Young as Monsieur, the king's brother. All things considered, very well worth seeing.

MCT:August 6, 2007One should never underestimate Tim Roth and Gerard Depardieu. Especially with Uma Thurman poking out her face ;)

I totally love Gerard. He is a spectacular actor and his work in this movie I think is the best I've seen thus far. A very beautiful movie.

A very elaborate and colourful movie about a creative steward entertaining Louis the XIV of France on a visit to his master, Prince Condé's castle, and falling in love with a woman of the Royal Court.
The sets are no less than spectacular, as well as the costumes that all the court wears. Vatel is a very proud man, and I loved his character! -

Artsy movie about how a chef gets caught up in the grandoise tyranny of Louis XIV (and invents whipped cream)

MCT:May 20, 2006Nothing like Julian Sands uttering, "My queen," just as his good lady wif is poised over the chamber pot.
