Dear Arto
are you saying that people in general were more unpleasant in those days
because they lived in hard times? Even the well-to-do aristocracy depicted
in the movie?

Dear Goran,
I just guess that both Lully and the King were even more unpleasant than
we
could guess in our times...
Compared to their times, we live in a heaven... And as we know, we
certainly are not there... So how miserable it must have been then im
their
times ...

Sean,
you have to agree, they don't make many "early music" movies with 'that'
much focus on the music as Tlmdm anymore. I watched "Le Roi danse (2000)"
recently (why are all those EM movies french btw?) from the same director
as
"Farinelli". And was surprized at how extremely unpleasant the depiction
of
both Lully and the King's characters were. Was that historically correct
anyone, or just dramatic freedom? Lutes and Theorboes galore though and I
believe HIP costumes, music, dance etc. Vive la France!

I kept my eyes closed through half of that movies so I wouldn't have
to watch Gerard D wringing that poor gamba's neck in time to some
other piece of music! Tous les moments of that movie couldn't end soon
enough.
Nice music tho....

One comment on lutes in movies:
In a many ways quite well made a movie, "Tous les matins du monde",
there
anyhow is something that worries a theobo player: when the poor old
Sainte-Colombe is playing alone his "viola da gamba" (viol in
British, I
guess...;) in his tiny cottage, you can clearly hear the theorbo
playing
the continuo, while there clearly none is present... Perhaps that
was an
image of Sainte-Colombe's hopes or imaginations? ;-)
who really knows,
Arto
