Vatel
“Some men are too noble to live among aristocracy.”
HistoryDramaRomance
Vatel is the cook of Prince Condé. When the prince invites Louis XIV to hunt, he has to give lavish banquets in order to fall in his favour. But when Vatel falls in love with the king's mistress, love and duty conflict.
VIBE
A lavish, yet somber, 17th-century spectacle. It feels like a gilded cage, where beauty and ambition clash against a backdrop of courtly intrigue and doomed romance. The weight of expectation and unfulfilled desire hangs heavy in the air.
