Rent Ridicule (1996)


A poor nobleman has a plan to rid his homeland of its disease infested swamp. To do this he needs backing and so heads to the court of King Louis XVI in a bid to solicit aid. He soon discovers that the worthiness of the plan itself will not grant him an audience with the King, at Versailles the sharpness of one's wit is what gets you noticed. Those found lacking in the art of wordsmanship are maliciously despatched.

Ridicule review by Lensky

Fairly entertaining
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
Fairly entertaining period drama (won Cesar and BAFTA), though some of the French wit is lost in the subtitles. Drawn-out in the beginning and a bit moralistic towards the end, but if you liked Dangerous Liaisons, you'll probably like this too (though DL is superior). You might also want to check out 'Vatel', which is a great film in this genre.
