0:00:57 > 0:00:59- GIRL: - Papa, we've made you breakfast.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Only Francoise is too little to carry the tray,
0:01:01 > 0:01:02so we have Philippe to help.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- BOY #1: - Yes, Uncle. I am the strongest.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06- BOY #2: - I could carry it.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Indeed, but you're engaged presently in being changed.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Go quick and then we shall eat on your return.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Good morning, Majesty! - My queen.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- How did you sleep, my sweet? - I sleep wonderful, Majesty.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23How handsome you look today.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Thank you, my dear.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's today I must wear my new gown, Sire.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27A week tomorrow at 11:00.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Don't forget about the length.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33If you stand on the hem, you'll rip it at the waist.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Thank you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- SABINE: - Master Le Notre,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I am delighted to make your acquaintance.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I've long been an admirer of your work.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55- DURAS: - Le Notre?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Too clever by half, if you ask me.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And riding on his father's name.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04The strategy I employ is to imitate.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06They cannot resist flattery.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08'Tis all vanity to these bigwigs.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Of course, once you're in, you must have the talent.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Speaking of vanity,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18there's a hat, now, gentlemen.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22- LA VIELLE:- Who is this person?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- DURAS: - That's Madame de Barra.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'm astounded by that.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53What of her reputation, do we know it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Certainly nothing to justify her presence here.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Monsieur Mauve's plans.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09How many more candidates, Claude?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Three more, monsieur, after this one, but the end is in sight.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Dullness or disrespect, that is my apparent choice.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19If the king's demands were not so vast,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20I would build the gardens myself.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Indeed, master.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23And in the meantime...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Monsieur Mauve.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- MAN: - Madame de Barra.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Monsieur Duras.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- That a new coat? - The wife's idea.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Be covered in mud by Tuesday,
0:07:41 > 0:07:42but by then she thinks we'll have this job,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44so the coat will have been a worthwhile extravagance.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Sound reasoning.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Gentlemen, I've not had the pleasure.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Jean Risse and Daniel Le Vielle,
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Madame Sabine de Barra.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54You're all here for the interview?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55We are, and you?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57The same.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Been in Paris long, madame?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Two years.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- LA VIELLE:- And you've worked for someone before that?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I know all the contractors in the provinces.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07All the gentlemen, that is.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08There is no gentleman, monsieur.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- I work for myself. - CHUCKLES
0:08:12 > 0:08:14We all to be interviewed at this time?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17We're here early to spy out the other candidates.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- I've been in already. - Oh, how did you fare?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Spent upwards of an hour with him.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Very detailed examination of the work, so, you know, we shall see.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25You must have impressed him.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I worked for his father.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'm not disheartened.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38He seems not disheartened, too.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- CLAUDE: - Madame de Barra.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Well, gentlemen.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Best of fates to you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Claude Moulin, madame.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Secretary to Master Le Notre.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Have you met the master before?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I have not.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56QUILL SCRATCHING
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Madame.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Sir.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I'm delighted to make your acquaintance.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I have long been an admirer of your work.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28I am so pleased to attend...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30These are your plans, madame?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Yes. Some are to be seen around the country.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Others are still in progress,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36not yet completed.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41However, as required, there are two sets of plans to your instructions.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The fifth and sixth, I believe.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Perhaps at the bottom...
0:09:47 > 0:09:48I have examined them.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Ah. So...
0:09:51 > 0:09:53May I ask you a question, madame?
0:09:54 > 0:09:55By all means, master.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Are you a believer in order?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Order? - Order over landscape?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Well, I admire it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Looking at these plans, there seems to be no trace.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08I would not agree.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11I think there is pattern enough
0:10:11 > 0:10:13in number six to suggest absolutely...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Do you believe in order over landscape?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Order seems to demand that we look back to Rome or to the Renaissance.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30What I'm saying is, surely,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33isn't there something uniquely French
0:10:33 > 0:10:35as yet not celebrated by us?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Which needs the rules of order to attain it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41All of my work...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45..is based on a principle you choose to deny.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I wonder that you tender yourself
0:10:47 > 0:10:50for a position with someone you believe...
0:10:51 > 0:10:52..to be outdated.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Sir, I... I have nothing but admiration
0:10:55 > 0:10:57for the scale of your work.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58You were the first to use such techniques.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03I must apologise for any insult that I may have unwittingly...
0:11:05 > 0:11:06..offered you.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Perhaps, madame,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09when you have been in the public eye
0:11:09 > 0:11:10and available for ridicule
0:11:10 > 0:11:11for as long as my family has,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14you will think again about this conversation.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Good day to you.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Three minutes, would you say?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11How was the interview? Well?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Not so well.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23You have a preferred candidate, master?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28The king wants to improve on perfection
0:13:28 > 0:13:29and reach for the impossible.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I'm surrounded by barbarians.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36No doubt it's death if I fail him.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Prison, more like.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Get your hands dirty, see what grows.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42That's what your father would have done.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48You once said, "No man, however grand,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52"knows what he wants until you give it to him."
0:13:52 > 0:13:53True.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- LOUISE: - A gentleman wishes to see you.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Monsieur Le Notre.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Here? - Don't worry, I'll stay.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Come on.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Oh! - Here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Go on.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Tell... Tell him one moment.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Madame will be with you presently.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33My father taught me gardening.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36He encouraged me to see beauty and recreate it,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38not as an exercise, more as an act of faith.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43He told me that God put us first into a garden,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47and when we lost Eden, we were fated to search and reinvent it again,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50but only some of us have the gift of knowing this.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Only some of us have that gift.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I spied on you today before you attended the interview.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11You moved one of my pots.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15I did.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22I was curious.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I will not take up too much of your time.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I have been looking again at your plans.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You did not care for them. I am none the less for it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38In plain truth, I am used to it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I did not say I did not care for your plans.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I said I could find no order in them.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46This abundance of chaos,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48this is your Eden?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52My search for it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I spoke today of the pressure of being in the public eye.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I will spare you any repetition, but, madame, in my world,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01even anarchy is by royal command,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03and chaos must adhere to budget.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Good evening.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18DOOR OPENS
0:19:26 > 0:19:28INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Later, messieurs.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Gentlemen.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45LE NOTRE: Welcome to Versailles.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47You found your way here without too much effort, I hope.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49The map you sent was wonderfully accurate.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I shall need it to get back out again.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53We shall be travelling about a bit.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Madame de Barra, Monsieur Sualem and De Ville.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57They are building the Marly waterworks
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and an aqueduct from there to Versailles,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02which we hope will alleviate the severe water shortage here.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- BOTH:- Madame. - Gentlemen.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06LE NOTRE: Madame de Barra will be constructing
0:20:06 > 0:20:08the Rockwork Grove here at Versailles.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Water, or rather the lack of it,
0:20:10 > 0:20:11will be a pressing concern.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Master, the king's ambitions are already...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Are vast and ever changing, and our task is to meet them.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19With respect, no man can meet infinite demand.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20The king's commands are not infinite, De Ville.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21They are the king's commands.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Well, quite so, but the aqueduct can only do so much.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25When we began construction,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I was under the impression that...
0:20:27 > 0:20:28The past is history.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Our task is to suppress nature to our will,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32according to the present plans.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34But, monsieur, the money being spent.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36The aqueduct will carry sufficient water
0:20:36 > 0:20:38to the gardens of Versailles because it must.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40That is your brief.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Madame?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45It is essentially your plan,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48number six in your submission, I believe.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51This part is entirely original to myself.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54You see?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It fits onto this end of your plan.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Now you can see the extent of the enterprise.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Yes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06It's a large, flat area.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11An arena with tiered sides.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Indeed.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19The orchestra
0:21:19 > 0:21:20will be up here.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21- SABINE: - Orchestra?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24A ballroom.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25SIGHS
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's an outdoor ballroom.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28LE NOTRE: There is a pool of builders.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Select whatever supplies you care to.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Commission whatever embellishments you think appropriate.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Time is not unlimited.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Here's the budget.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Try not to exceed it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Master?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Why me?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58These gardens should be large enough
0:21:58 > 0:22:01to embrace voices other than my own.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48GIRL: Mama!
0:22:48 > 0:22:49I'm coming.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13LE NOTRE: Madame de Barra.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Monsieur, forgive me for disturbing you at home,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18but I've been reworking the plans.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23If... If we fill
0:23:23 > 0:23:25a reservoir at the top of the hill,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27we would have enough water to run the fountains
0:23:27 > 0:23:28and the building works.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32We don't need water continually if we just recycle it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Pressure will force it back up to the start again.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38And there's a river...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42..here, underground.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- May I? - Of course.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Well, thank you, madame.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I will examine these in more detail.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I must apologise if this adds to the turmoil.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58I am trained to it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Like a good plant, I submit.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- MADAME LE NOTRE:- We waited an hour for a gaming table.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Montespan and Lauzun had monopolized them.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Anyway, then came the news her house was on fire.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53We felt sure this would end her winning streak.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Apparently not. The marquise played on.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Her children were safe, what could she do?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01She showed wonderful spirit and was clapped for it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05How does this dress look on me, Andre?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Andre, are you listening?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09You look very well in it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13What are you studying that's so important?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Some plans.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Versailles.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Are these the drawings that woman brought to the house?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- They are. - I see.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Button these gloves for me, Andre.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Blunt instruments.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Perhaps that's what makes us a good match.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You're creative,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50but unable for the more delicate manoeuvres.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Don't forget that, Andre.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'm the expert.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56You're merely the gardener, however grand.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Without me to promote your interests, well,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02use your famous imagination.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33That's more than enough for one day.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43What...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Where are you...
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Where are you going?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49MEN CHATTERING
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Luc?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- LOUISE: - The sight of you, madame.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46What time were you up this morning?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Did you not sleep again?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49I don't remember.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51You must take more care.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53You'll never last at this rate.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Then what will become of us?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- I always think of something. - Hmm.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Came today.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05What does it say?
0:28:11 > 0:28:12What does it say?
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Anyone you know?
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Monsieur Duras.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Need to know your way around the crews.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Otherwise, you end up with the wasters.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47The lot you had before,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49they're cooling their heels on another site.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Won't bother us again. Same with the timber suppliers.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55One of your friends at the interview recommended them.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Perhaps he hadn't thought it through.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58And you have?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00If you fail, we all fail.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Not pretty, I'll grant, but it's true.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07So...
0:29:07 > 0:29:09So, I learned after some inquiries
0:29:09 > 0:29:11who had the commissions, and everybody had good labourers
0:29:11 > 0:29:12coming out their ears except you.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Thanks to your friends at the interview.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Some men take losing harder than others.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17I, on the other hand, have a leviathan for a wife
0:29:17 > 0:29:20and am very used to being on the losing end.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22She issued very precise instructions
0:29:22 > 0:29:23which, as I say, I would never dare go against.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Instructions?
0:29:24 > 0:29:26"Ask her for work."
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Well, a man snaps like a carrot exposed to the leviathan.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Besides, I have little ones.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36They make me proud,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39even if I am humbled elsewhere.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Can I take this off now?
0:29:40 > 0:29:41CHUCKLES
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I've been issued an invitation to the Louvre.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Gracious me.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Supper, too, I expect. Very nice.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Will there be others there?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09CROWD CHATTERING LOUDLY
0:30:52 > 0:30:53APPLAUSE
0:30:55 > 0:30:59KING LOUIS: Versailles shall be the heart of our kingdom,
0:30:59 > 0:31:04inhabited by the finest examples of humanity,
0:31:04 > 0:31:08fit for the gods of old to behold
0:31:08 > 0:31:10and finding their echo in gardens
0:31:10 > 0:31:15where each new turn brings another excitement.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Fountains whose gentle flow
0:31:19 > 0:31:21is balm enough to ease a ringing ear.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28Scented groves of orange blossom blown by temperate winds.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31KING LOUIS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
0:31:41 > 0:31:45What light, what beauty, what hope.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Versailles, Versailles...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52..Versailles.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53APPLAUSE
0:31:58 > 0:32:00CROWD CHATTERING LOUDLY
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Oh, pardon me.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I believe this is the way forward, madame.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Some cool night air is, I think,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27in order, madame, do you not?
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Oh.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Thank you.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31BREATHES DEEPLY
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Your first time at court, madame?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Is... Is that where I am?
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Where did you imagine yourself to be?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Well, I don't know.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44A reception for the gardeners of Versailles.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45- CHUCKLES - A sort of shed affair?
0:32:45 > 0:32:46How exquisite.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49A tiara amongst the weeds.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50I think I...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I have underestimated the event on some level, monsieur.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Antoine Nompar de Caumont,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Marquis de Puyguilhem, Duc de Lauzun.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Antoine.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Sabine de Barra. - Charmed.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Now, let me give you the grand tour.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10What do you know of us, madame, we mice in a trap?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Not a thing, I'm sorry to say.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Winter, summer, autumn, spring, we are here.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20We may not leave without permission of the king.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Yes, mice in a trap.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26A small community, there's only about 2,000 of us.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Everybody knows everybody else.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Everybody has worked their way through the group.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33"Worked their way through"?
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Fought with, had an affair with, that kind of thing.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Marquise de Montespan. Late, as usual.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47She's the king's mistress. Has at least four of his children,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49but his attention has wandered.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Now there is a new star rising.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Oh? - Madame de Maintenon.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- And she is here? - Devoted to God.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Never attends anything as frivolous as a party,
0:33:58 > 0:33:59unlike some people.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Don't look. They're talking about us.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Madame de Barra.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05You are...
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Am I... Am I late?
0:34:09 > 0:34:10No.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- Early? - No.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13What, then?
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Here.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18One of your gardeners? Perfect.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I must accompany the marquise to supper.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22I could surrender my new friend into your care?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Of course.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Guard her well, monsieur.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27The vultures are circling.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It has been my pleasure.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Madame?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- SABINE: - It seems an extraordinary life.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47But you may come and go?
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Oh, yes.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50I'm out and about.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53And now they're all moving to Versailles.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54To a village.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Will you not join them?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I would go slowly mad.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Oh.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Do they think of you as a vegetable grower or something?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06You show no consideration for my vanity, madame.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I'm quite sure you possess none.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12What of you, Madame Sabine de Barra?
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Are you prone?
0:35:13 > 0:35:14You remember my hat?
0:35:16 > 0:35:17It would be impossible to forget.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19It was a considerable expense.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21And entirely unnecessary.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- MAN: - Nolly!
0:35:23 > 0:35:25My dear old cabbage!
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Monsieur.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Give me a kiss instantly or I shall take grave offence.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- What a splendid hat. - Do you think so?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33I'm trying it out, I never wear a hat.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- No. - Fear of squashing my wig.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37But who's this?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Dear lady, you are prostrate. Allow me.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41May I present
0:35:41 > 0:35:43His Royal Highness Philippe, Duke of Orleans?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Your Highness, this is Madame Sabine de Barra.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- PHILIPPE: - Delighted, madame.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51How is it that a woman of such exquisite taste
0:35:51 > 0:35:53falls in with a clay kicker like Andre here?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57I must confess to being a clay kicker myself, Your Highness.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59I am working for the master at Versailles.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00I am unable to picture it.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Do tell us how it is that you are.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03CLEARS THROAT
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Oh. May I present Marquis du Vasse?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Master Le Notre, Madame de Barra.- Delighted.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- PHILIPPE:- But the mystery remains, madame.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11What is a woman of such restrained sophistication
0:36:11 > 0:36:12doing with Nolly here?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I speak from the opposite end of the fashion scale.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17I don't apologise for it, I like it about myself.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Answer, madame. Stop me talking.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23It was the only thing I knew how to do, for money.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26And you enjoy your profession? It stimulates you?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28It has seen me through some very hard times
0:36:28 > 0:36:29and allowed me to be independent.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31PRINCESS PALATINE: Dearest!
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I simply do as I am told.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Even down to marrying large German women.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Though, I confess, I like her better than my last wife,
0:36:38 > 0:36:40who is dead as a doornail now, thank God.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Do kiss me, husband. I am in need of affection.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49It is wonderful to have access to one's spouse.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50My dear, we're being very rude.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Princess Palatine, Duchess of Orleans,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54may I present Madame de Barra, who...
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Nolly, what is Madame de Barra engaged to do?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Hold for this, my dear, it will interest you.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02She is to build a water cascade at Versailles.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Nothing like it will exist in the gardens.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05PRINCESS PALATINE: How fascinating.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07I am a great admirer of engineering.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Madame, you must promise to show us.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Perhaps Your Highnesses
0:37:11 > 0:37:13would care to take lunch at the Louveciennes aqueduct?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Is it in the country?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I always disappear in the country.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19But now that we are to move out to Versailles,
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I shall become a human jellyfish.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24A miserable, formless being.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26We should love to come, Master Le Notre.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28WHISPERING
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Everybody should really attend, I imagine.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Come, Madame de Barra.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Take a turnabout with me and tell me of your scheme.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36With pleasure, Your Highness.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- PHILIPPE: - Well, Nolly, Madame de Barra has certainly thrilled my dearest.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Has she thrilled you also?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50She's very diverting and extremely clever at what she does, I think.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Do you indeed?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I am glad.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Good man.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Macaroon?
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Thank you, sire.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13My speech went down well, I thought.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14It did.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17"The finest examples of humanity" certainly enjoyed it.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23We may be building with stone, but I can tell you it's a feather
0:38:23 > 0:38:25compared to the weight of the state.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29My brother tells me you're inviting
0:38:29 > 0:38:32new ideas into the gardens. Why?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I've been persuaded to expand my horizons.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Have they been tested?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37They are, in my opinion, appropriate.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Appropriate?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Last year, we had the Nymphs and Shepherds costume party,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50and it was not a bit funny, all those haggard faces under flaxen wigs.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51We looked ancient.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I want a window to perfection
0:38:53 > 0:38:56so that people can see the very best of themselves.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59We've grown too old for jokes.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02The work will be original but balanced.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05The responsibility will be mine.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Yes.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11It will.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18- MADAME LE NOTRE:- Andre.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I did not see you there in the gloom.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Did you enjoy your evening?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32As much, I imagine, as you did yours.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34I did not expect to see you there.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45You were with that woman.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15Clear!
0:41:28 > 0:41:29PEOPLE GASPING
0:41:31 > 0:41:33ROCKS TUMBLING
0:41:39 > 0:41:41You are reckless, madame.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53# When youth has gone by
0:41:53 > 0:41:58# The Phoenix will die
0:41:58 > 0:42:06# In glorious splendour
0:42:07 > 0:42:12# So men desire
0:42:12 > 0:42:17# A woman's bright fire
0:42:17 > 0:42:25# Before life is ended
0:42:25 > 0:42:31# To love as you die
0:42:31 > 0:42:34# Is a sweet goodbye
0:42:34 > 0:42:40# To love as you die
0:42:40 > 0:42:44# Is a sweet goodbye. #
0:42:44 > 0:42:46APPLAUSE
0:42:47 > 0:42:52I think you all, but especially the marquis. I croak unaccompanied.
0:42:52 > 0:42:53LAUGHTER
0:43:03 > 0:43:06PRINCESS PALATINE: Do you know that my husband and the marquis are lovers?
0:43:06 > 0:43:10It has not stopped us having children, and he loved them dearly.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13In battle, he's immensely brave.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16And he has a good heart.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18I am happy with my choice.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42- PHILIPPE:- Another thing about the country...
0:43:43 > 0:43:44..is the muck.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48One encounters it everywhere.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Or beasts making muck.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54The country is full of muck.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- You sang beautifully.- Thank you.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13I sometimes feel entirely defeated by life's extremities.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18When I come to a place like this...
0:44:19 > 0:44:22..gradually, a small courage takes hold of me
0:44:22 > 0:44:24and I feel fitter for things.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27- SABINE: - Do you feel that way often?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29LE NOTRE: More so with time.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Your wife does not accompany you ever?
0:44:37 > 0:44:40That is, she does not come out with you,
0:44:40 > 0:44:43other times, besides now?
0:44:45 > 0:44:47You're very direct, madame.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56We have an arrangement.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I feel disloyal in discussing such matters.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04You are also married?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08No.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12My husband died.
0:45:12 > 0:45:13I'm sorry.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18Today you said I was reckless,
0:45:18 > 0:45:21but to be reckless is to abandon safety,
0:45:21 > 0:45:26but I think maybe it is safety that has abandoned me.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46What is it?
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Nothing.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52It...
0:45:57 > 0:45:59I would like to walk on.
0:45:59 > 0:46:00Of course.
0:46:03 > 0:46:04Come.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06There's something you should see.
0:46:20 > 0:46:21It's a shrine.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04HORSE APPROACHING

0:47:54 > 0:47:55So kind.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56So quick.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19- MADAME LE NOTRE:- Did you have fun on your picnic, Andre?
0:48:22 > 0:48:25I take it, madame, you are unaware of events?
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Events?
0:48:27 > 0:48:28What do you mean, events?
0:48:28 > 0:48:31The queen is dead, madame.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33- The queen? - Is dead.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39The king could marry again?
0:48:39 > 0:48:42But no longer to your friend, the marquise, I think.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44I feel sorry for Montespan.
0:48:47 > 0:48:48Tread carefully, madame.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03MAN #1: More on the wagon!
0:49:03 > 0:49:04- MAN #2: - No, the other one.
0:49:06 > 0:49:07MAN #1: I want the seasoned wood.
0:49:07 > 0:49:08Seasoned.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18- MAN #3: - Here, pass it here.
0:49:35 > 0:49:36Madame de Barra.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Master.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44You've made some progress here.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46I have a new foreman.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Monsieur Duras.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58We've had to drain the soil below the fountain.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00The ground is waterlogged.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02It's a problem common to the gardens.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Thank you.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Do you sometimes forget to eat?
0:50:39 > 0:50:40CHUCKLES
0:50:43 > 0:50:46This is pate from Madame de la Tour.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48She feeds the ducks on seaweed.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52It was all she could afford.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Virtue from necessity.
0:50:59 > 0:51:00CHUCKLES
0:51:01 > 0:51:02What amuses you?
0:51:04 > 0:51:05There was an Irish woman who died,
0:51:05 > 0:51:07and her husband put on her tombstone,
0:51:07 > 0:51:10"Here lies Eleanor Fitzgerald.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12"Her virtues exceeded her failings."
0:51:13 > 0:51:15How noble of him.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17You think he showed her that before she died?
0:51:17 > 0:51:19I'd have stuck an arrow in his eye.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Perhaps he was being truthful.
0:51:28 > 0:51:29How is the king?
0:51:32 > 0:51:33Shocked, I believe.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Poor little Spanish woman.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39Has her head chopped off and her organs laid out neatly.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42And all her friends, her maids, everyone,
0:51:42 > 0:51:44must gather around the table.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Why would they chop her head off?
0:51:48 > 0:51:49To see what she died of.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55You must attend the funeral, I suppose?
0:52:00 > 0:52:02Well, I should go.
0:52:29 > 0:52:30KNOCK ON DOOR
0:52:32 > 0:52:34It is I, King Monsieur.
0:52:34 > 0:52:35May I?
0:52:37 > 0:52:38Come, then, brother.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43If the king does not eat, France does not eat.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45I shall feed France,
0:52:45 > 0:52:47and you must put up with it.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49I'm not hungry.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50I have rose jellies.
0:52:56 > 0:52:57Have you lemon?
0:53:11 > 0:53:13I wish to go to Marly.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16And I wish to be alone.
0:53:48 > 0:53:49Try not to bend the tops.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15HORSE NEIGHING
0:56:00 > 0:56:02My beauties.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10CARRIAGE APPROACHING
0:56:30 > 0:56:31WHISPERS
0:58:01 > 0:58:02Monsieur de la Quintinie?
0:58:08 > 0:58:09Madame Sabine de Barra.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12I'm very happy to meet you.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15I am directed by the Office of Buildings of Versailles
0:58:15 > 0:58:18to order shrubs, such as I require, from your good self.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22I have brought with me a selection of perennials
0:58:22 > 0:58:23I thought we might exchange.
0:58:30 > 0:58:32Is this the Four Seasons?
0:58:36 > 0:58:38Yes, I believe so.
0:58:40 > 0:58:41Mmm.
0:58:41 > 0:58:42Divine.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45Good colour, too.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47You say you have a selection of plants?
0:58:47 > 0:58:49I had them unloaded into a little cart,
0:58:49 > 0:58:51intending to have them conveyed here,
0:58:51 > 0:58:53but there seems to be no-one about.
0:58:53 > 0:58:55I wished to be alone, I had them sent away.
0:58:56 > 0:58:58If you wish to be alone, I could come back.
0:58:58 > 0:58:59No, no, no.
0:58:59 > 0:59:01I find you are the very company I need today.
0:59:04 > 0:59:07Nothing would suit me better than for me...
0:59:10 > 0:59:12..the king's gardener...
0:59:13 > 0:59:15..to take some advice on perennials.
0:59:19 > 0:59:21Allow me, madame, to assist you.
0:59:21 > 0:59:23Hmm.
0:59:23 > 0:59:25Most kind, monsieur.
0:59:28 > 0:59:31You are a devoted pear man, master.
0:59:31 > 0:59:33I quite like them, not overly.
0:59:34 > 0:59:35Oh...
0:59:35 > 0:59:38I think the master is playing a trick on me.
0:59:39 > 0:59:40A trick?
0:59:40 > 0:59:43Well, yes, I do know of your book on pears.
0:59:44 > 0:59:46My book on pears?
0:59:49 > 0:59:51Oh, yes, I have written a book on pears.
0:59:53 > 0:59:56I believe I said I liked them a lot in my book.
0:59:56 > 0:59:58I believe you did.
0:59:59 > 1:00:00And perennials.
1:00:03 > 1:00:04You like flowers, master?
1:00:04 > 1:00:07Madame de Barra, I love all flowers passionately.
1:00:07 > 1:00:09However, I am banished from using as many as I would like
1:00:09 > 1:00:11at Versailles by the Master Le Notre.
1:00:11 > 1:00:14He indulges me in a few small parterres.
1:00:14 > 1:00:16I'd hoped to be able to convert him when we took up residence.
1:00:16 > 1:00:18However...
1:00:21 > 1:00:22Oh!
1:00:24 > 1:00:26You're wise to me now, madame.
1:00:30 > 1:00:33May we ignore all that and continue as before?
1:00:36 > 1:00:38Today, I am...
1:00:39 > 1:00:42..Monsieur de la Quintinie.
1:00:42 > 1:00:43Indeed.
1:00:44 > 1:00:45And you are.
1:00:50 > 1:00:52You are the better for the move to Versailles, sire?
1:00:52 > 1:00:54Very much.
1:00:54 > 1:00:56It's good for the children to be away from the city.
1:00:56 > 1:00:58I know it's a crush for everybody.
1:00:58 > 1:01:01I felt, though, that I should never get the builders out
1:01:01 > 1:01:03unless I moved in.
1:01:03 > 1:01:06You are familiar with builders, Madame de Barra?
1:01:06 > 1:01:10At present, I am building in your gardens at Versailles.
1:01:10 > 1:01:13Which construction would that be?
1:01:13 > 1:01:14The Rockwork Grove.
1:01:16 > 1:01:17I am familiar with it.
1:01:17 > 1:01:20I cannot claim it entirely as my own.
1:01:20 > 1:01:23Master Le Notre took a simple sketch of mine
1:01:23 > 1:01:26and made it outstanding, so...
1:01:27 > 1:01:30You see my reluctance.
1:01:30 > 1:01:32You admire the master, madame?
1:01:35 > 1:01:38He is the most complete person I know.
1:01:40 > 1:01:43You make me lonely for someone to describe me thus.
1:01:49 > 1:01:51These are your flowers?
1:02:26 > 1:02:29My wife died recently.
1:02:29 > 1:02:30Did you hear?
1:02:31 > 1:02:32I did, sire.
1:02:34 > 1:02:37I remember the day of your marriage.
1:02:37 > 1:02:38I hope so, it cost enough.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43Though her father paid for a large portion.
1:02:45 > 1:02:48Astray in his wits, bless him.
1:02:48 > 1:02:50A long bloodline, never a good thing.
1:02:52 > 1:02:55She was an innocent, really.
1:02:58 > 1:02:59But she was nice.
1:03:01 > 1:03:03And devoted to me.
1:03:07 > 1:03:09I found this after she died.
1:03:11 > 1:03:15It's just an account of our lives.
1:03:15 > 1:03:17The writing's like a child's. CHUCKLES
1:03:17 > 1:03:19You see here?
1:03:20 > 1:03:23"Today I saved a flower from His Majesty."
1:03:23 > 1:03:25And then the time and the place.
1:03:29 > 1:03:32This little woman's secret life.
1:03:35 > 1:03:37I feel the loss of it.
1:03:41 > 1:03:43I should like to marry again.
1:03:45 > 1:03:48This time someone I choose,
1:03:48 > 1:03:51not the state.
1:03:51 > 1:03:52Has Your Majesty someone in mind?
1:03:52 > 1:03:54I have, but the lady's very pious.
1:03:56 > 1:04:01Most evenings I stroll over to her rooms, and we just sit and talk.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05But it is the ease of it I like.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09The ease.
1:04:12 > 1:04:15Unfortunately, she is of no birth,
1:04:15 > 1:04:17so, you see, I am at a little impasse.
1:04:20 > 1:04:24If you were to be married to
1:04:24 > 1:04:25the lady of your choosing...
1:04:27 > 1:04:30..would it be necessary for everyone to know?
1:04:30 > 1:04:34If the ceremony were private, between the couple...
1:04:36 > 1:04:38..who would be in a position to argue the outcome?
1:04:38 > 1:04:41They would be foolish to do so afterwards, when it was done.
1:04:43 > 1:04:44Mmm.
1:04:46 > 1:04:47Yes.
1:04:50 > 1:04:51SIGHS
1:04:51 > 1:04:53So much to contend.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01And what of you, Madame de Barra?
1:05:03 > 1:05:06What pulse drives you?
1:05:06 > 1:05:07There is someone you love?
1:05:09 > 1:05:11I cannot say.
1:05:12 > 1:05:13Why?
1:05:16 > 1:05:19Because... Because of something private.
1:05:19 > 1:05:22What is so private that it cannot be shared in love?
1:05:22 > 1:05:24The time has come, madame,
1:05:25 > 1:05:28for us both to face down our past
1:05:28 > 1:05:30and live in the present.
1:05:34 > 1:05:37I shall write a letter from one gardener to another,
1:05:37 > 1:05:41shall we say, in return for seeds sown.
1:05:41 > 1:05:43It will bring you to the court...
1:05:46 > 1:05:47..where my eye...
1:05:49 > 1:05:51..will always be on you.
1:05:54 > 1:05:57I shall not forget our day in the garden, Madame de Barra.

1:06:04 > 1:06:06FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
1:06:11 > 1:06:14- MADAME LE NOTRE:- Are you still fiddling with your bits, Andre?
1:06:14 > 1:06:16It helps me think.
1:06:16 > 1:06:18For you.
1:06:18 > 1:06:19It has the fleur-de-lis.
1:06:23 > 1:06:25Is it from the king, I wonder?
1:06:31 > 1:06:32Is it an invitation?
1:06:34 > 1:06:36There is something you need, madame?
1:06:36 > 1:06:38Andre? So secret?
1:06:38 > 1:06:41I must inform you, since you ask,
1:06:41 > 1:06:43that I leave for Fontainebleau at the end of the week.
1:06:43 > 1:06:45Fontainebleau?
1:06:45 > 1:06:48I was not aware there were activities.
1:06:48 > 1:06:49The marquise must have forgotten.
1:06:49 > 1:06:51I will travel there alone.
1:06:52 > 1:06:54Plainly, madame, that is the position.
1:06:54 > 1:06:55If you will excuse me.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59Madame de Barra.
1:06:59 > 1:07:02Is she an aspect of your life I must now include?
1:07:02 > 1:07:05Andre, a builder?
1:07:05 > 1:07:06I'm a builder, madame.
1:07:06 > 1:07:08You are funded by that profession.
1:07:08 > 1:07:11- LAUGHS - Very amusing.
1:07:11 > 1:07:13Perhaps that is the fantasy between you and she.
1:07:13 > 1:07:14So be it.
1:07:14 > 1:07:16However, I must request that
1:07:16 > 1:07:18you keep it separate from our lives.
1:07:18 > 1:07:19If this liaison became common knowledge,
1:07:19 > 1:07:21it would make me a laughing stock.
1:07:21 > 1:07:22It makes my flesh crawl.
1:07:22 > 1:07:25I remind you, madame, that it was YOU who embarked on this path.
1:07:27 > 1:07:30You and only you dictated how we live now,
1:07:30 > 1:07:32and you did it, madame,
1:07:32 > 1:07:33when I needed you most.
1:07:33 > 1:07:35Andre.
1:07:38 > 1:07:40I feel us at the edge of something here.
1:07:41 > 1:07:42I'm trying to pull us back.
1:07:42 > 1:07:44You knew the damage you inflicted,
1:07:44 > 1:07:47but you have been free to live your life as you wished
1:07:47 > 1:07:49without embarrassment from me.
1:07:49 > 1:07:52I ask you now to extend me the same courtesy.
1:07:54 > 1:07:56Andre, you must make the sensible choice here.
1:07:56 > 1:07:58Do not exclude me, I beg you.
1:08:02 > 1:08:04I begged you once.
1:08:04 > 1:08:05Do you remember?
1:08:05 > 1:08:08Allow me to give you the same advice you gave me then.
1:08:08 > 1:08:10You said, "It is a matter of feeling special.
1:08:11 > 1:08:15"If we are unable, one, to make the other feel special,
1:08:15 > 1:08:17"we must just accept it,

1:09:52 > 1:09:53Did you ever see someone
1:09:53 > 1:09:55and know that they were to play a role in your life?
1:09:57 > 1:09:59You're a widow, I believe.
1:09:59 > 1:10:01How lonely that must be.
1:10:03 > 1:10:08I've known for some time that Andre had some secret happiness,
1:10:08 > 1:10:11but my husband's ambitions are married only to mine.

1:16:41 > 1:16:42Is it honest?
1:16:44 > 1:16:46- Are you? - No.
1:16:48 > 1:16:50I have not been honest since I watched you in my garden.
1:16:52 > 1:16:54Your heart beats fiercely. Mine just ticks.
1:16:57 > 1:16:59I have not gifts to offer such a wonder.
1:17:02 > 1:17:04If you are hungry, I'll feed you.
1:17:06 > 1:17:07If I am mad, you will tell me.
1:17:08 > 1:17:10You are not mad.
1:17:11 > 1:17:13You don't know all of me yet.
1:17:18 > 1:17:19Are you hungry?
1:17:21 > 1:17:22Starving.
1:17:39 > 1:17:40SABINE SOBS
1:17:40 > 1:17:41LE NOTRE: Are you not happy?
1:17:43 > 1:17:44Yes.
1:17:46 > 1:17:48That's what is making me cry.
1:18:02 > 1:18:04I can't.
1:18:09 > 1:18:11I can't.
1:18:11 > 1:18:12Don't ask me.
1:19:05 > 1:19:08- KING LOUIS:- What am I to say? "It is original"?
1:19:08 > 1:19:10"Continue indefinitely"?
1:19:10 > 1:19:11Do you expect that of us?
1:19:14 > 1:19:16You've been working with Madame de Barra.
1:19:17 > 1:19:19Are you committed to this design?
1:19:19 > 1:19:21- DURAS: - If I may say, Your Majesty,
1:19:21 > 1:19:23I was just as sceptical as you are in the beginning, like.
1:19:23 > 1:19:24But now?
1:19:24 > 1:19:26I'm a convert, so to speak, Your Majesty.
1:19:26 > 1:19:29Even now, the setbacks were due to nature, sire.
1:19:29 > 1:19:30Perfection does not bow to nature.
1:19:30 > 1:19:32What on earth are those things?
1:19:32 > 1:19:35- DURAS:- Well, sire, I'm glad you asked me that, because that, really,
1:19:35 > 1:19:37is what Madame de Barra is.
1:19:37 > 1:19:38Odd, sire.
1:19:38 > 1:19:39May I show Your Majesty?
1:19:49 > 1:19:53You will recall what I said about Nymphs and Shepherds.
1:19:53 > 1:19:56As we age, we see things more clearly.
1:19:57 > 1:19:58This project...
1:20:00 > 1:20:02..is it worthy of us?
1:20:08 > 1:20:10There's no precedent for Madame de Barra's vision.
1:20:12 > 1:20:15Trust is all we can give to those who reach into the new, sire.
1:20:17 > 1:20:19But when beauty can be described with such imagination,
1:20:19 > 1:20:22then her art, above all I know...
1:20:23 > 1:20:24..is worthy of the king.
1:20:28 > 1:20:30I see only mud.
1:20:33 > 1:20:35Your words we will weigh later.
1:20:37 > 1:20:39For now, inform Madame de Barra
1:20:39 > 1:20:41that I shall see her at Fontainebleau.
1:21:17 > 1:21:18Andre?
1:21:32 > 1:21:33Well, look who's here?!
1:21:41 > 1:21:43Were you here all night?
1:21:43 > 1:21:45He said all he could see was mud.
1:21:47 > 1:21:50This will all work out.
1:21:50 > 1:21:51I can call in some favours owed.
1:21:51 > 1:21:53We can...double our hours,
1:21:53 > 1:21:56and with the extra work force we'll get through it.
1:21:56 > 1:21:57But you need to be the boss man.
1:21:57 > 1:22:00Charm them all. As well as His Majesty.
1:22:00 > 1:22:03Think you can remember how to?
1:22:03 > 1:22:04Charm them?
1:22:04 > 1:22:07The master's with you, anyway.
1:22:07 > 1:22:08Did you hear him out there?
1:22:10 > 1:22:12Hmm.
1:22:12 > 1:22:14Looked as if he hadn't slept either.
1:22:18 > 1:22:21I wondered when that fire would get lit.
1:22:34 > 1:22:36I do not know...
1:22:37 > 1:22:40..what story this tells
1:22:40 > 1:22:42or what harm it is part of.
1:22:44 > 1:22:46This is a bad end for both of us...
1:22:47 > 1:22:49..and I am sorry for it.
1:23:40 > 1:23:42- ANTOINE: - Welcome to Fontainebleau.
1:23:42 > 1:23:44- SABINE: - Antoine.- How beautiful you look.
1:23:45 > 1:23:47I believe it is compulsory.
1:23:47 > 1:23:49Indeed. However, some of the ladies find it more of a challenge.
1:23:49 > 1:23:52I am bound to say, I see no trace of that challenge in you.
1:23:52 > 1:23:53Do not talk to me about it, madame.
1:23:53 > 1:23:55I am ruined by the expense, and worse,
1:23:55 > 1:23:57it is interfering with my gaming.
1:23:59 > 1:24:01I must confess that escorting you down is something of a coup.
1:24:03 > 1:24:04How so?
1:24:04 > 1:24:07There are several parties who are anxious to meet you.
1:24:07 > 1:24:08I am no-one.
1:24:08 > 1:24:10What could the interest be?
1:24:10 > 1:24:12Madame, you answer yourself.
1:24:12 > 1:24:14You see how they look at you?
1:24:14 > 1:24:16You are no-one where everybody is someone,
1:24:16 > 1:24:18and yet you are here.
1:24:18 > 1:24:20That makes you more the someone.
1:24:20 > 1:24:22Especially if you have conversation.
1:24:22 > 1:24:23Words just tumble.
1:24:23 > 1:24:24LAUGHING
1:24:26 > 1:24:27You see?
1:24:27 > 1:24:30People are looking our way with interest, because of my mirth.
1:24:30 > 1:24:32But the hordes may not have you yet.
1:24:32 > 1:24:35I am under strict instruction to convey you to one person in particular.
1:24:35 > 1:24:37The Marquise de Montespan.
1:24:37 > 1:24:39Heavens, the lengths I've had to go to, madame.
1:24:39 > 1:24:43I have had to bribe, lie and use every form of deception to meet you.
1:24:43 > 1:24:45How much did you pay the maitre d'hotel?
1:24:45 > 1:24:47Five gold louis. Was that too much?
1:24:47 > 1:24:48Money well spent.
1:24:48 > 1:24:50Lauzun, I love you dearly.
1:24:50 > 1:24:52Kiss me now and leave me to explore my prize.
1:24:52 > 1:24:54I shall enjoy you later.
1:24:54 > 1:24:56- Madame. - Good fortune at the tables.
1:24:56 > 1:24:58I feel lucky tonight.
1:24:58 > 1:25:01My dearest friend and a most divine lover.
1:25:01 > 1:25:02What can I say, madame?
1:25:02 > 1:25:05Events overtook us before I had the king's interest.
1:25:05 > 1:25:07Is this your first time at Fontainebleau?
1:25:07 > 1:25:08- It is. - Have you no birth?
1:25:08 > 1:25:10Not a drop. No blood whatsoever.
1:25:10 > 1:25:13You are here entirely on your own merits.
1:25:13 > 1:25:14I know a famous man.
1:25:14 > 1:25:15Ah, I see.
1:25:15 > 1:25:16I was going to offer you Lauzun,
1:25:16 > 1:25:17but you're ahead of the game.
1:25:17 > 1:25:20- Athenais. - Palatine.
1:25:23 > 1:25:25And Madame de Barra.
1:25:25 > 1:25:27I'm so happy to see you again.
1:25:27 > 1:25:28Princess.
1:25:28 > 1:25:30Oh, please, call me madame.
1:25:30 > 1:25:31It's affectionate, and everybody does.
1:25:31 > 1:25:34Come. My secret space.
1:25:40 > 1:25:43- Do you dig earth? - Yes.
1:25:43 > 1:25:45Yet you're not blackened by the sun.
1:25:45 > 1:25:46Perhaps a little.
1:25:46 > 1:25:49And never had the smallpox. Your skin is clear.
1:25:49 > 1:25:51Show us your breasts. Are they pretty?
1:25:51 > 1:25:53Would you like to see mine? Mine are the most beautiful.
1:25:53 > 1:25:57Yes, they are, apart from Suzanne, who's 70.
1:25:57 > 1:25:59Oh, yes, hers are perfect.
1:25:59 > 1:26:02- You see, here, touch. - Oh!
1:26:05 > 1:26:07Your eyes are the colour of the sea.
1:26:07 > 1:26:09This gown is cut differently.
1:26:09 > 1:26:10I like it at the waist.
1:26:10 > 1:26:12Are you married?
1:26:12 > 1:26:14- Widowed.- WOMAN #1: Did you like your husband?
1:26:14 > 1:26:15- Yes. WOMAN #2:- Children?
1:26:19 > 1:26:20Dead?
1:26:21 > 1:26:22A girl.
1:26:24 > 1:26:25How old?
1:26:27 > 1:26:28Six.
1:26:28 > 1:26:31Palatine has lost her son, too.
1:26:33 > 1:26:35He was four.
1:26:35 > 1:26:38So little and beautiful.
1:26:38 > 1:26:39Charles was one.
1:26:39 > 1:26:42I lost Joan and Ann together.
1:26:42 > 1:26:44Smallpox.
1:26:44 > 1:26:47I lost my husband and my son on the battlefield.
1:26:47 > 1:26:49They died in each other's arms.
1:26:51 > 1:26:52I'm barely here.
1:26:53 > 1:26:54How did they die?
1:26:57 > 1:26:59- WOMAN #3:- Do you find it hard to speak of it?
1:27:00 > 1:27:02WOMAN #4: That can happen.
1:27:06 > 1:27:07I put everything in a trunk.
1:27:10 > 1:27:12All their clothes, shoes...
1:27:13 > 1:27:15..her toys.
1:27:16 > 1:27:18I haven't had the courage to go in there since.
1:27:22 > 1:27:25When you are strong enough, my dear,
1:27:25 > 1:27:27when you are strong enough.
1:27:27 > 1:27:29DE MONTESPAN: We're not allowed to speak of death at court.
1:27:31 > 1:27:32The king does not like it,
1:27:32 > 1:27:34but we speak about it amongst ourselves.
1:27:34 > 1:27:38Nobody may ban a child from its mother's heart.
1:27:41 > 1:27:44I commended all my children into Maintenon's care.
1:27:44 > 1:27:46How she has turned on me now.
1:27:48 > 1:27:50Saintly old bitch.
1:27:51 > 1:27:55It is an amazement to me a convent has not claimed her.
1:27:55 > 1:27:57Costume's not as lavish. ALL LAUGH
1:27:58 > 1:28:00FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING, WOMAN SHUSHING
1:28:00 > 1:28:01Oh. The king comes.
1:28:02 > 1:28:04Have you been presented before?
1:28:05 > 1:28:06No.
1:28:20 > 1:28:21DOOR OPENS
1:28:40 > 1:28:42Your Majesty, it is my pleasure
1:28:42 > 1:28:44to present Madame de Barra.
1:28:46 > 1:28:47Madame.
1:28:51 > 1:28:52Your Majesty.
1:28:56 > 1:28:58Is it a Four Seasons?
1:28:59 > 1:29:01- CHUCKLES - It is, Sire.
1:29:02 > 1:29:04For the most famous gardener in the world.
1:29:07 > 1:29:09Allow me,
1:29:09 > 1:29:11Your Majesty.
1:29:19 > 1:29:21A light, honest scent.
1:29:24 > 1:29:26Natural and unforced.
1:29:30 > 1:29:31Some of the roses seem faded...
1:29:33 > 1:29:34..and overblown.
1:29:41 > 1:29:43That fate awaits all roses, Sire.
1:29:47 > 1:29:49Continue, madame.
1:29:50 > 1:29:54All roses are open to the elements, Your Majesty.
1:29:54 > 1:29:56They bud, bloom and fade.
1:29:59 > 1:30:00Is that so, madame?
1:30:00 > 1:30:03The rose grows entirely unaware,
1:30:03 > 1:30:07changing naturally from one state to another,
1:30:07 > 1:30:09and although the elements may treat her cruelly...
1:30:10 > 1:30:13..she knows nothing of it and continues to her end
1:30:13 > 1:30:15without judgment on her beauty.
1:30:16 > 1:30:20Alas, 'tis not the same for us.
1:30:22 > 1:30:24If such a rose could speak...
1:30:27 > 1:30:28..what would she say?
1:30:30 > 1:30:32Yes, I am here...
1:30:33 > 1:30:35and gave service under nature's eye,
1:30:36 > 1:30:40..and after me, my children will be.
1:30:41 > 1:30:44Is there any greater contribution or more graceful end?
1:30:46 > 1:30:47A wise rose.
1:30:52 > 1:30:56And what protection can the gardener afford this rose
1:30:56 > 1:30:58from the harsh elements of change?
1:30:59 > 1:31:01Patience, care...
1:31:02 > 1:31:04..and a little warmth from the sun
1:31:04 > 1:31:05are our best hope, Your Majesty.
1:31:20 > 1:31:24I'm obliged to you, madame, for that sweet reminder.
1:31:31 > 1:31:32Now walk with me.
1:31:35 > 1:31:37And tell me of
1:31:37 > 1:31:39your progress in our garden.
1:32:06 > 1:32:08Her kindness,
1:32:08 > 1:32:10unbribed.
1:32:22 > 1:32:24That was very brave tonight.
1:32:26 > 1:32:27I hoped he might listen.
1:32:27 > 1:32:29Enough humility.
1:33:46 > 1:33:47PANTING
1:34:07 > 1:34:08MOANS
1:35:08 > 1:35:09Who's there?
1:35:10 > 1:35:12Who's there? I saw them die.
1:35:14 > 1:35:16I can hear her so clearly.
1:35:18 > 1:35:19I feel her.
1:35:26 > 1:35:27I am unlocked.
1:35:28 > 1:35:30FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING
1:35:38 > 1:35:40There you are.
1:35:41 > 1:35:42Philippe.
1:35:52 > 1:35:53You're dressed.
1:35:53 > 1:35:55I'm off on business to Chartres.
1:35:55 > 1:35:57Thought I would take Marie-Claire.
1:35:57 > 1:35:59There's a good puppet stand and a pie shop.
1:36:01 > 1:36:03Marie-Claire! Are you there?
1:36:03 > 1:36:05Papa! Did you find her?
1:36:05 > 1:36:08- DE BARRA:- Here is Belle Boobie asleep with Mama.
1:36:08 > 1:36:10- HIGH-PITCHED: - Hello, Marie-Claire.
1:36:10 > 1:36:11MARIE-CLAIRE: You naughty doll!
1:36:11 > 1:36:13Come here and I shall punish you.
1:36:14 > 1:36:16Oh, my goodness. Is she all right?
1:36:16 > 1:36:18Don't be silly. She's made of cloth.
1:36:18 > 1:36:21Heavens! What a relief! I shall have to sit down now.
1:36:27 > 1:36:29Sabine, I have something to tell you.
1:36:31 > 1:36:32- SABINE: - How long?
1:36:32 > 1:36:33- DE BARRA:- We've not been close of late.
1:36:34 > 1:36:38And most men take mistresses in due course in such circumstances.
1:36:38 > 1:36:40Such circumstances?
1:36:41 > 1:36:43What's her name?
1:36:44 > 1:36:45Diane.
1:36:45 > 1:36:47Where does she live?
1:36:48 > 1:36:49Berry.
1:36:49 > 1:36:51Oh.
1:36:51 > 1:36:52Not too far.
1:36:52 > 1:36:54CARRIAGE APPROACHING
1:36:54 > 1:36:57There's the coach now.
1:36:57 > 1:36:58We'll talk again on this matter.
1:37:02 > 1:37:04When will you be back?
1:37:05 > 1:37:07This evening, madame.
1:37:07 > 1:37:10Do not "madame" me, Philippe.
1:37:17 > 1:37:20Marie-Claire, tie your laces. You'll fall over them.
1:37:20 > 1:37:23- I can't, Mama. - Wait there.
1:37:28 > 1:37:29Master, look at this.
1:37:33 > 1:37:34Marie-Claire.
1:37:35 > 1:37:37Marie-Claire.
1:37:40 > 1:37:41Jean, the wheel.
1:37:41 > 1:37:43- JEAN:- I told the master.
1:37:43 > 1:37:44He said it would do until Berry.
1:37:44 > 1:37:45Berry?
1:37:48 > 1:37:50Marie-Claire!
1:37:50 > 1:37:51I did not kiss Mama.
1:38:11 > 1:38:13Stop! Stop!
1:38:13 > 1:38:14YELLING
1:38:18 > 1:38:19CRIES OUT
1:38:26 > 1:38:27No, no!
1:38:29 > 1:38:30GASPS
1:38:40 > 1:38:44No! No!
1:38:44 > 1:38:45Sabine!
1:38:47 > 1:38:48SOBBING
1:39:01 > 1:39:04She was the most beautiful thing I ever made,
1:39:04 > 1:39:05and I killed her.
1:39:10 > 1:39:13Did you intend them to die? Is that what you planned?
1:39:14 > 1:39:16It was... It was your husband's choice.
1:39:16 > 1:39:17He took away the child.
1:39:17 > 1:39:19No, it was my fault.
1:39:19 > 1:39:21It was my fault. I let him take her away.
1:39:21 > 1:39:23What if no-one person is to blame?
1:39:23 > 1:39:25And what use is blame?
1:39:25 > 1:39:26It is enough to have it happen to you.
1:39:26 > 1:39:28It is enough to recover from it.
1:39:30 > 1:39:32That is as much as we may ask of ourselves.
1:39:32 > 1:39:33That is enough.
1:39:39 > 1:39:40What is it that would help you?
1:39:42 > 1:39:43If you held me.
1:39:57 > 1:39:59What will happen to your wife?
1:40:05 > 1:40:07This was not the way we started.
1:40:10 > 1:40:12So we must have taught each other how to behave.
1:40:16 > 1:40:18I am to blame for it as much as she.
1:40:23 > 1:40:25She will live her own life.
1:40:27 > 1:40:28She knows that now.
1:40:32 > 1:40:34And us?
1:40:38 > 1:40:39We will shape each other.
1:41:05 > 1:41:06This isn't the right way.
1:41:06 > 1:41:10- Yes, it is. We're behind that fence. - Oh!
1:41:10 > 1:41:12For heaven's sake!
