Official Trailer for Albert Serra's 'The Death of Louis Xiv' from Cannes

"Your majesty appears to be most discomfited." An official Us trailer has arrived for a French film titled The Death of Louis Xiv, or La mort de Louis Xiv, made by filmmaker Albert Serra. The film had its big world premiere at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival last summer. As historically accurate as they could possibly get, the film tells the story of the French monarch, played by actor Jean-Pierre Léaud. After returning from a hunting expedition in 1715, King Louis Xiv felt a sharp pain in his leg. He begins to die of gangrene, surrounded by loyal followers. Described as "a wry neoclassical chamber drama, a work of pure magic". The cast includes Patrick d'Assumçao, Marc Susini, Bernard Belin, Irène Silvagni, and Vicenç Altaió. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Albert Serra's The Death of Louis Xiv, direct from Vimeo: Versailles, August 1715. Back from hunting, Louis Xiv (a magisterially bewigged

Discussing "The Death of Louis Xiv" with Albert Serra

The death of a king, the death of cinema: in Albert Serra’s La mort de Louis Xiv we watch French New Wave legend Jean-Pierre Léaud embody the Sun King as a living body sinking into the shadows, slipping away while his attendants, doctors and sycophants carefully tend to him as if all will be fine. But will it? An actor synonymous with the 1960s re-invention of cinema, made in close collaboration with such epoch-defining directors as François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, and Jacques Rivette, Léaud is now 71, five years younger than the age the most ambitious, powerful, and famous of French kings died of gangrene. The title spoils the fun on purpose: Albert Serra’s film is not about what happens; rather, it’s paying homage a king among men, the fading into the dark of a man inseparable from modern cinema.Those familiar with this Catalan director’s radical

Festival Gems: Albert Serra's "Story of My Death"

Albert Serra's Story of My Death is playing on Mubi in most countries in the world through December 14, 2015.Two different stories (or, more precisely, two different philosophical epochs) coincide at a boarding house in the Carpathian woods in Albert Serra's rewardingly bizarre Story of My Death. In the first, an aging aristocrat eventually revealed to be none other than Casanova himself (played by Vicenç Altaió) lolls around in sumptuous Swiss chambers, gleefully indulging his every epicurean appetite—munching on seeds and sweets, exploring the regions under a maiden's gown, pelting his servant with arch pensées, and giggling at the chamber pot he's just strenuously filled. In the second, restricted interiors give way to vast Balkan vistas, the roaming grounds of a Dracula (Eliseu Huertas) who looks like a Latvian Orthodox elder and sounds like a Sixties guru. ("We go way beyond," he tells a curious lass about his castle happenings.
