Ridicule

Posted on July 15, 1997August 28, 2018 by Village Vidiot


“Ridicule,” drama, July 15, 1997, video, home. Wonderful French film about life in Louis the XVI’s court over issue of wit and verbal sparring as key to success. Sense of emptiness of the verbal as sport as young doctor goes to court to try to save his town from disease caused by the mosquitoes in the marshes. Lovely bit about the Revolution. Excellent film, also one no American would or could make. See this film!
