Louis XIV, the French sun-king has two passions, establishing absolute rule over the realm -after decades of religious/civil wars- by divine right and artistic brilliancy as a dancer

VIBE

A lavishly staged, intimate portrait of a king's dual obsessions. It feels like stepping into a gilded cage, where artistic expression battles the weight of absolute power. A slow, deliberate waltz through history.
