dignified death
I totally agree with the assessment of the first reviewer: it is a beautiful, claustrophobic film with very little “drama”. One thing I would like to add is that the film depicts the dying king with great respect and dignity. Having touched by death of elderly family members in recent years, I appreciated the film’s compassionate and dignified portrait of Louis XIV and the people who served him closely. There is no political intrigue or ugliness in the film. It quietly and matter-of-factly tells a story. So even though the film’s main theme is death, it is not a depressing film and you leave the theater marveling the fine acting of Jean-Pierre Léaud.
