I think the movie works at least well as a loose post-modernist
adaption of Cyrano de Bergerac where we (as Roxane) wish Jordi Savall
would reveal his true self instead of through the proxy of Gerard
"Iron Grip" Depardieu.
And that's my most generous spin on it. Maybe get Steve Martin to
I haven't seen the movie, but Lully was by all accounts a very powerful
person and used that power. He flaunted the ban on homosexuality even
though there was a death penalty for it. How could the king enforce it
when his own brother was homosexual? Nothing wrong with it today, but

I haven't seen the other two and, frankly, the music sequences from
Tlmdm are why. I know, the irony is heavy. I really wanted to like it
and would relish more movies and producers w/ the guts to produce them.
That said, I probably will check out R. Hood's latest incarnation. I

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?

Hi all,
While in Paris I stopped at the Paris Opera and spotted this odd painting
of either an archlute or theorbo on the ceiling. Could anyone enlighten me
about this? Sorry the picture is blurry, the light was horri
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 d
Much better than those tons of "Robin Hood" movies, though, I guess... ;-)

enough.

In a many ways quite well made a movie, "Tous les matins du monde", there

I was asked to play some German lute music for the opening of an

Hi Gary,
We both pick out irregularities and inconsistencies having to do with
musical instruments in films .
You noticed all too incredible volume from a small lute, and I often
notice oddities to do with guitars in movies, like someone not really

Ha! I totally believe it. I had a similar thing happen to me a few years ago.
I was booked to play a classical guitar gig on Thanksgiving at a very fancy
restaurant in a posh hotel. I had played there many times before, so I knew

Hundreds of noisy drunken revelers are also another matter.
I have to say that the music and sound effects sometimes drowned out the
dialogue.
