Alain Corneau’s fictional account of eminent musician Marin Marais is set, with a keen attention to historical period, in the France of Louis XIV. Marais reflects on his earlier life, when he tried to become a pupil of composer and violist Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe; actors Gérard Depardieu and Guillaume Depardieu are cast as the aging Marais and his younger self. Throughout the film, we hear viol music from the period performed by Jordi Savall, who received a César for his performance. “A reserved and elegant portrait colored by dark, romantic longing”.
