CLOCK CHIMING | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
-BREAKS WIND -Whoops! | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
-WHISPERING: -Your Majesty. You stink in my linen. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
-GIRL: -Papa, we've made you breakfast. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Only Francoise is too little to carry the tray, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
so we have Philippe to help. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
-BOY #1: -Yes, Uncle. I am the strongest. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-BOY #2: -I could carry it. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
Indeed, but you're engaged presently in being changed. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Go quick and then we shall eat on your return. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
-Good morning, Majesty! -My queen. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-How did you sleep, my sweet? -I sleep wonderful, Majesty. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
How handsome you look today. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Thank you, my dear. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
It's today I must wear my new gown, Sire. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
In the evening. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Not now. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
KING LOUIS: Be it known that we intend to hold court | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
at the Palace of Versailles | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
within the coming month of May. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Clap. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Do you see how important it is to elicit the appropriate response? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Yes. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
KING LOUIS: To this auspicious end, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
the finest examples of humanity | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
shall embody the true glory of France | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
in a palace of eternal and resounding splendour. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Take note. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Your eloquence they must love, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
your demeanour they must fear. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
I have further commanded | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
that the greatest masters of France will realise this vision | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
unparalleled in the history of the world | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
in gardens of exquisite | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
and matchless beauty. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Heaven... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
..shall be here. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |

-LOUISE: -Madame? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
Is it? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
A week tomorrow at 11:00. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Don't forget about the length. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
If you stand on the hem, you'll rip it at the waist. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
It's pinching me here. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
LAUGHING | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
Thank you. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
-SABINE: -Master Le Notre, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
I am delighted to make your acquaintance. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
I've long been an admirer of your work. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-DURAS: -Le Notre? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
Too clever by half, if you ask me. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
And riding on his father's name. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
The strategy I employ is to imitate. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
They cannot resist flattery. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
'Tis all vanity to these bigwigs. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
Of course, once you're in, you must have the talent. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Speaking of vanity, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
there's a hat, now, gentlemen. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
-LA VIELLE: -Who is this person? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
-DURAS: -That's Madame de Barra. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
I'm astounded by that. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
What of her reputation, do we know it? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
Certainly nothing to justify her presence here. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
Monsieur Mauve's plans. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
How many more candidates, Claude? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Three more, monsieur, after this one, but the end is in sight. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Dullness or disrespect, that is my apparent choice. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
If the king's demands were not so vast, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
I would build the gardens myself. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
Indeed, master. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |
And in the meantime... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
Monsieur Mauve. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-MAN: -Madame de Barra. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Monsieur Duras. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
-That a new coat? -The wife's idea. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Be covered in mud by Tuesday, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
but by then she thinks we'll have this job, | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
so the coat will have been a worthwhile extravagance. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Sound reasoning. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
Gentlemen, I've not had the pleasure. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Jean Risse and Daniel Le Vielle, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Madame Sabine de Barra. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:52 | |
You're all here for the interview? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
We are, and you? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
The same. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Been in Paris long, madame? | 0:07:57 | 0:07:58 | |
Two years. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
-LA VIELLE: -And you've worked for someone before that? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
I know all the contractors in the provinces. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
All the gentlemen, that is. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
There is no gentleman, monsieur. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
-I work for myself. -CHUCKLES | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
We all to be interviewed at this time? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
We're here early to spy out the other candidates. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-I've been in already. -Oh, how did you fare? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Spent upwards of an hour with him. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Very detailed examination of the work, so, you know, we shall see. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
You must have impressed him. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
I worked for his father. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
I'm not disheartened. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
DOOR OPENS, MEN LAUGHING | 0:08:29 | 0:08:30 | |
He seems not disheartened, too. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-CLAUDE: -Madame de Barra. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Well, gentlemen. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
Best of fates to you. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
Claude Moulin, madame. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Secretary to Master Le Notre. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Have you met the master before? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
I have not. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
QUILL SCRATCHING | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
Madame. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
Sir. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
I'm delighted to make your acquaintance. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
I have long been an admirer of your work. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
I am so pleased to attend... | 0:09:27 | 0:09:28 | |
These are your plans, madame? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Yes. Some are to be seen around the country. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
Others are still in progress, | 0:09:33 | 0:09:34 | |
not yet completed. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
However, as required, there are two sets of plans to your instructions. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
The fifth and sixth, I believe. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Perhaps at the bottom... | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
I have examined them. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
Ah. So... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
May I ask you a question, madame? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
By all means, master. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
Are you a believer in order? | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
-Order? -Order over landscape? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
Well, I admire it. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
Looking at these plans, there seems to be no trace. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
I would not agree. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:08 | |
I think there is pattern enough | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
in number six to suggest absolutely... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Do you believe in order over landscape? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Order seems to demand that we look back to Rome or to the Renaissance. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
What I'm saying is, surely, | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
isn't there something uniquely French | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
as yet not celebrated by us? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Which needs the rules of order to attain it. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
All of my work... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
..is based on a principle you choose to deny. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
I wonder that you tender yourself | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
for a position with someone you believe... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
..to be outdated. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:52 | |
Sir, I... I have nothing but admiration | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
for the scale of your work. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
You were the first to use such techniques. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
I must apologise for any insult that I may have unwittingly... | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
..offered you. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:06 | |
Perhaps, madame, | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
when you have been in the public eye | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
and available for ridicule | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
for as long as my family has, | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
you will think again about this conversation. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
Good day to you. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Three minutes, would you say? | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
How was the interview? Well? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
Not so well. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
You have a preferred candidate, master? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
The king wants to improve on perfection | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
and reach for the impossible. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:29 | |
I'm surrounded by barbarians. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
No doubt it's death if I fail him. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Prison, more like. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
Get your hands dirty, see what grows. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
That's what your father would have done. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
You once said, "No man, however grand, | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
"knows what he wants until you give it to him." | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
True. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:53 | |

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

APPLAUSE | 0:42:44 | 0:42:46 | |
I think you all, but especially the marquis. I croak unaccompanied. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:52 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:42:52 | 0:42:53 | |
PRINCESS PALATINE: Do you know that my husband and the marquis are lovers? | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
It has not stopped us having children, and he loved them dearly. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
In battle, he's immensely brave. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
And he has a good heart. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:16 | |
I am happy with my choice. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
-PHILIPPE: -Another thing about the country... | 0:43:40 | 0:43:42 | |
..is the muck. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:44 | |
One encounters it everywhere. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:48 | |
Or beasts making muck. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:50 | |
The country is full of muck. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:54 | |
-You sang beautifully. -Thank you. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
I sometimes feel entirely defeated by life's extremities. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
When I come to a place like this... | 0:44:16 | 0:44:18 | |
..gradually, a small courage takes hold of me | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
and I feel fitter for things. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
-SABINE: -Do you feel that way often? | 0:44:25 | 0:44:27 | |
LE NOTRE: More so with time. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:29 | |
Your wife does not accompany you ever? | 0:44:34 | 0:44:36 | |
That is, she does not come out with you, | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
other times, besides now? | 0:44:40 | 0:44:43 | |
You're very direct, madame. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:47 | |
We have an arrangement. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:56 | |
I feel disloyal in discussing such matters. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:00 | |
You are also married? | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
No. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:08 | |
My husband died. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:13 | |
Today you said I was reckless, | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
but to be reckless is to abandon safety, | 0:45:18 | 0:45:21 | |
but I think maybe it is safety that has abandoned me. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:26 | |
What is it? | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
Nothing. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:51 | |
It... | 0:45:51 | 0:45:52 | |
I would like to walk on. | 0:45:57 | 0:45:59 | |
Of course. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:00 | |
Come. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:04 | |
There's something you should see. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:06 | |
It's a shrine. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:21 | |

-MADAME LE NOTRE: -Did you have fun on your picnic, Andre? | 0:48:17 | 0:48:19 | |
I take it, madame, you are unaware of events? | 0:48:22 | 0:48:25 | |
Events? | 0:48:25 | 0:48:27 | |
What do you mean, events? | 0:48:27 | 0:48:28 | |
The queen is dead, madame. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
-The queen? -Is dead. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
The king could marry again? | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
But no longer to your friend, the marquise, I think. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
I feel sorry for Montespan. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:44 | |
Tread carefully, madame. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:48 | |

Madame de Barra. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:36 | |
Master. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:43 | |
You've made some progress here. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:44 | |
I have a new foreman. | 0:49:44 | 0:49:46 | |
Monsieur Duras. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:48 | |
We've had to drain the soil below the fountain. | 0:49:55 | 0:49:58 | |
The ground is waterlogged. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
It's a problem common to the gardens. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
Thank you. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:32 | |
Do you sometimes forget to eat? | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
CHUCKLES | 0:50:39 | 0:50:40 | |
This is pate from Madame de la Tour. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:46 | |
She feeds the ducks on seaweed. | 0:50:46 | 0:50:48 | |
It was all she could afford. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:52 | |
Virtue from necessity. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:54 | |
CHUCKLES | 0:50:59 | 0:51:00 | |
What amuses you? | 0:51:01 | 0:51:02 | |
There was an Irish woman who died, | 0:51:04 | 0:51:05 | |
and her husband put on her tombstone, | 0:51:05 | 0:51:07 | |
"Here lies Eleanor Fitzgerald. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
"Her virtues exceeded her failings." | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
How noble of him. | 0:51:13 | 0:51:15 | |
You think he showed her that before she died? | 0:51:15 | 0:51:17 | |
I'd have stuck an arrow in his eye. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:19 | |
Perhaps he was being truthful. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:22 | |
How is the king? | 0:51:28 | 0:51:29 | |
Shocked, I believe. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:33 | |
Poor little Spanish woman. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
Has her head chopped off and her organs laid out neatly. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:39 | |
And all her friends, her maids, everyone, | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
must gather around the table. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
Why would they chop her head off? | 0:51:46 | 0:51:48 | |
To see what she died of. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:49 | |
You must attend the funeral, I suppose? | 0:51:52 | 0:51:55 | |
Well, I should go. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:02 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:52:29 | 0:52:30 | |
It is I, King Monsieur. | 0:52:32 | 0:52:34 | |
May I? | 0:52:34 | 0:52:35 | |
Come, then, brother. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:38 | |
If the king does not eat, France does not eat. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:43 | |
I shall feed France, | 0:52:43 | 0:52:45 | |
and you must put up with it. | 0:52:45 | 0:52:47 | |
I'm not hungry. | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
I have rose jellies. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:50 | |
Have you lemon? | 0:52:56 | 0:52:57 | |
I wish to go to Marly. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:13 | |
And I wish to be alone. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:16 | |
Try not to bend the tops. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:49 | |

CARRIAGE APPROACHING | 0:56:08 | 0:56:10 | |
WHISPERS | 0:56:30 | 0:56:31 | |
Monsieur de la Quintinie? | 0:58:01 | 0:58:02 | |
Madame Sabine de Barra. | 0:58:08 | 0:58:09 | |
I'm very happy to meet you. | 0:58:10 | 0:58:12 | |
I am directed by the Office of Buildings of Versailles | 0:58:12 | 0:58:15 | |
to order shrubs, such as I require, from your good self. | 0:58:15 | 0:58:18 | |
I have brought with me a selection of perennials | 0:58:20 | 0:58:22 | |
I thought we might exchange. | 0:58:22 | 0:58:23 | |
Is this the Four Seasons? | 0:58:30 | 0:58:32 | |
Yes, I believe so. | 0:58:36 | 0:58:38 | |
Mmm. | 0:58:40 | 0:58:41 | |
Divine. | 0:58:41 | 0:58:42 | |
Good colour, too. | 0:58:43 | 0:58:45 | |
You say you have a selection of plants? | 0:58:45 | 0:58:47 | |
I had them unloaded into a little cart, | 0:58:47 | 0:58:49 | |
intending to have them conveyed here, | 0:58:49 | 0:58:51 | |
but there seems to be no-one about. | 0:58:51 | 0:58:53 | |
I wished to be alone, I had them sent away. | 0:58:53 | 0:58:55 | |
If you wish to be alone, I could come back. | 0:58:56 | 0:58:58 | |
No, no, no. | 0:58:58 | 0:58:59 | |
I find you are the very company I need today. | 0:58:59 | 0:59:01 | |
Nothing would suit me better than for me... | 0:59:04 | 0:59:07 | |
..the king's gardener... | 0:59:10 | 0:59:12 | |
..to take some advice on perennials. | 0:59:13 | 0:59:15 | |
Allow me, madame, to assist you. | 0:59:19 | 0:59:21 | |
Hmm. | 0:59:21 | 0:59:23 | |
Most kind, monsieur. | 0:59:23 | 0:59:25 | |
You are a devoted pear man, master. | 0:59:28 | 0:59:31 | |
I quite like them, not overly. | 0:59:31 | 0:59:33 | |
Oh... | 0:59:34 | 0:59:35 | |
I think the master is playing a trick on me. | 0:59:35 | 0:59:38 | |
A trick? | 0:59:39 | 0:59:40 | |
Well, yes, I do know of your book on pears. | 0:59:40 | 0:59:43 | |
My book on pears? | 0:59:44 | 0:59:46 | |
Oh, yes, I have written a book on pears. | 0:59:49 | 0:59:51 | |
I believe I said I liked them a lot in my book. | 0:59:53 | 0:59:56 | |
I believe you did. | 0:59:56 | 0:59:58 | |
And perennials. | 0:59:59 | 1:00:00 | |
You like flowers, master? | 1:00:03 | 1:00:04 | |
Madame de Barra, I love all flowers passionately. | 1:00:04 | 1:00:07 | |
However, I am banished from using as many as I would like | 1:00:07 | 1:00:09 | |
at Versailles by the Master Le Notre. | 1:00:09 | 1:00:11 | |
He indulges me in a few small parterres. | 1:00:11 | 1:00:14 | |
I'd hoped to be able to convert him when we took up residence. | 1:00:14 | 1:00:16 | |
However... | 1:00:16 | 1:00:18 | |
Oh! | 1:00:21 | 1:00:22 | |
You're wise to me now, madame. | 1:00:24 | 1:00:26 | |
May we ignore all that and continue as before? | 1:00:30 | 1:00:33 | |
Today, I am... | 1:00:36 | 1:00:38 | |
..Monsieur de la Quintinie. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:42 | |
Indeed. | 1:00:42 | 1:00:43 | |
And you are. | 1:00:44 | 1:00:45 | |
You are the better for the move to Versailles, sire? | 1:00:50 | 1:00:52 | |
Very much. | 1:00:52 | 1:00:54 | |
It's good for the children to be away from the city. | 1:00:54 | 1:00:56 | |
I know it's a crush for everybody. | 1:00:56 | 1:00:58 | |
I felt, though, that I should never get the builders out | 1:00:58 | 1:01:01 | |
unless I moved in. | 1:01:01 | 1:01:03 | |
You are familiar with builders, Madame de Barra? | 1:01:03 | 1:01:06 | |
At present, I am building in your gardens at Versailles. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:10 | |
Which construction would that be? | 1:01:10 | 1:01:13 | |
The Rockwork Grove. | 1:01:13 | 1:01:14 | |
I am familiar with it. | 1:01:16 | 1:01:17 | |
I cannot claim it entirely as my own. | 1:01:17 | 1:01:20 | |
Master Le Notre took a simple sketch of mine | 1:01:20 | 1:01:23 | |
and made it outstanding, so... | 1:01:23 | 1:01:26 | |
You see my reluctance. | 1:01:27 | 1:01:30 | |
You admire the master, madame? | 1:01:30 | 1:01:32 | |
He is the most complete person I know. | 1:01:35 | 1:01:38 | |
You make me lonely for someone to describe me thus. | 1:01:40 | 1:01:43 | |
These are your flowers? | 1:01:49 | 1:01:51 | |
My wife died recently. | 1:02:26 | 1:02:29 | |
Did you hear? | 1:02:29 | 1:02:30 | |
I did, sire. | 1:02:31 | 1:02:32 | |
I remember the day of your marriage. | 1:02:34 | 1:02:37 | |
I hope so, it cost enough. | 1:02:37 | 1:02:38 | |
Though her father paid for a large portion. | 1:02:40 | 1:02:43 | |
Astray in his wits, bless him. | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
A long bloodline, never a good thing. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:50 | |
She was an innocent, really. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:55 | |
But she was nice. | 1:02:58 | 1:02:59 | |
And devoted to me. | 1:03:01 | 1:03:03 | |
I found this after she died. | 1:03:07 | 1:03:09 | |
It's just an account of our lives. | 1:03:11 | 1:03:15 | |
The writing's like a child's. CHUCKLES | 1:03:15 | 1:03:17 | |
You see here? | 1:03:17 | 1:03:19 | |
"Today I saved a flower from His Majesty." | 1:03:20 | 1:03:23 | |
And then the time and the place. | 1:03:23 | 1:03:25 | |
This little woman's secret life. | 1:03:29 | 1:03:32 | |
I feel the loss of it. | 1:03:35 | 1:03:37 | |
I should like to marry again. | 1:03:41 | 1:03:43 | |
This time someone I choose, | 1:03:45 | 1:03:48 | |
not the state. | 1:03:48 | 1:03:51 | |
Has Your Majesty someone in mind? | 1:03:51 | 1:03:52 | |
I have, but the lady's very pious. | 1:03:52 | 1:03:54 | |
Most evenings I stroll over to her rooms, and we just sit and talk. | 1:03:56 | 1:04:01 | |
But it is the ease of it I like. | 1:04:02 | 1:04:05 | |
The ease. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:09 | |
Unfortunately, she is of no birth, | 1:04:12 | 1:04:15 | |
so, you see, I am at a little impasse. | 1:04:15 | 1:04:17 | |
If you were to be married to | 1:04:20 | 1:04:24 | |
the lady of your choosing... | 1:04:24 | 1:04:25 | |
..would it be necessary for everyone to know? | 1:04:27 | 1:04:30 | |
If the ceremony were private, between the couple... | 1:04:30 | 1:04:34 | |
..who would be in a position to argue the outcome? | 1:04:36 | 1:04:38 | |
They would be foolish to do so afterwards, when it was done. | 1:04:38 | 1:04:41 | |
Mmm. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:44 | |
Yes. | 1:04:46 | 1:04:47 | |
SIGHS | 1:04:50 | 1:04:51 | |
So much to contend. | 1:04:51 | 1:04:53 | |
And what of you, Madame de Barra? | 1:04:59 | 1:05:01 | |
What pulse drives you? | 1:05:03 | 1:05:06 | |
There is someone you love? | 1:05:06 | 1:05:07 | |
I cannot say. | 1:05:09 | 1:05:11 | |
Why? | 1:05:12 | 1:05:13 | |
Because... Because of something private. | 1:05:16 | 1:05:19 | |
What is so private that it cannot be shared in love? | 1:05:19 | 1:05:22 | |
The time has come, madame, | 1:05:22 | 1:05:24 | |
for us both to face down our past | 1:05:25 | 1:05:28 | |
and live in the present. | 1:05:28 | 1:05:30 | |
I shall write a letter from one gardener to another, | 1:05:34 | 1:05:37 | |
shall we say, in return for seeds sown. | 1:05:37 | 1:05:41 | |
It will bring you to the court... | 1:05:41 | 1:05:43 | |
..where my eye... | 1:05:46 | 1:05:47 | |
..will always be on you. | 1:05:49 | 1:05:51 | |
I shall not forget our day in the garden, Madame de Barra. | 1:05:54 | 1:05:57 | |
DOOR CLOSES | 1:06:02 | 1:06:04 | |
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING | 1:06:04 | 1:06:06 | |
-MADAME LE NOTRE: -Are you still fiddling with your bits, Andre? | 1:06:11 | 1:06:14 | |
It helps me think. | 1:06:14 | 1:06:16 | |
For you. | 1:06:16 | 1:06:18 | |
It has the fleur-de-lis. | 1:06:18 | 1:06:19 | |
Is it from the king, I wonder? | 1:06:23 | 1:06:25 | |
Is it an invitation? | 1:06:31 | 1:06:32 | |
There is something you need, madame? | 1:06:34 | 1:06:36 | |
Andre? So secret? | 1:06:36 | 1:06:38 | |
I must inform you, since you ask, | 1:06:38 | 1:06:41 | |
that I leave for Fontainebleau at the end of the week. | 1:06:41 | 1:06:43 | |
Fontainebleau? | 1:06:43 | 1:06:45 | |
I was not aware there were activities. | 1:06:45 | 1:06:48 | |
The marquise must have forgotten. | 1:06:48 | 1:06:49 | |
I will travel there alone. | 1:06:49 | 1:06:51 | |
Plainly, madame, that is the position. | 1:06:52 | 1:06:54 | |
If you will excuse me. | 1:06:54 | 1:06:55 | |
Madame de Barra. | 1:06:57 | 1:06:59 | |
Is she an aspect of your life I must now include? | 1:06:59 | 1:07:02 | |
Andre, a builder? | 1:07:02 | 1:07:05 | |
I'm a builder, madame. | 1:07:05 | 1:07:06 | |
You are funded by that profession. | 1:07:06 | 1:07:08 | |
-LAUGHS -Very amusing. | 1:07:08 | 1:07:11 | |
Perhaps that is the fantasy between you and she. | 1:07:11 | 1:07:13 | |
So be it. | 1:07:13 | 1:07:14 | |
However, I must request that | 1:07:14 | 1:07:16 | |
you keep it separate from our lives. | 1:07:16 | 1:07:18 | |
If this liaison became common knowledge, | 1:07:18 | 1:07:19 | |
it would make me a laughing stock. | 1:07:19 | 1:07:21 | |
It makes my flesh crawl. | 1:07:21 | 1:07:22 | |
I remind you, madame, that it was YOU who embarked on this path. | 1:07:22 | 1:07:25 | |
You and only you dictated how we live now, | 1:07:27 | 1:07:30 | |
and you did it, madame, | 1:07:30 | 1:07:32 | |
when I needed you most. | 1:07:32 | 1:07:33 | |
Andre. | 1:07:33 | 1:07:35 | |
I feel us at the edge of something here. | 1:07:38 | 1:07:40 | |
I'm trying to pull us back. | 1:07:41 | 1:07:42 | |
You knew the damage you inflicted, | 1:07:42 | 1:07:44 | |
but you have been free to live your life as you wished | 1:07:44 | 1:07:47 | |
without embarrassment from me. | 1:07:47 | 1:07:49 | |
I ask you now to extend me the same courtesy. | 1:07:49 | 1:07:52 | |
Andre, you must make the sensible choice here. | 1:07:54 | 1:07:56 | |
Do not exclude me, I beg you. | 1:07:56 | 1:07:58 | |
I begged you once. | 1:08:02 | 1:08:04 | |
Do you remember? | 1:08:04 | 1:08:05 | |
Allow me to give you the same advice you gave me then. | 1:08:05 | 1:08:08 | |
You said, "It is a matter of feeling special. | 1:08:08 | 1:08:10 | |
"If we are unable, one, to make the other feel special, | 1:08:11 | 1:08:15 | |
"we must just accept it, | 1:08:15 | 1:08:17 | |
"seek comfort elsewhere | 1:08:17 | 1:08:19 | |
"with others. | 1:08:19 | 1:08:21 | |
"It is an honest contract, my dear. | 1:08:22 | 1:08:23 | |
"You'll grow used to it." | 1:08:24 | 1:08:26 | |
That is what you said. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:29 | |
DOOR OPENS | 1:08:34 | 1:08:35 | |
DOOR CLOSES | 1:08:39 | 1:08:40 | |
THUNDER RUMBLING | 1:08:40 | 1:08:42 | |
What's the root ball like? | 1:08:56 | 1:08:57 | |
It's a bit dry. | 1:08:59 | 1:09:01 | |
Soak them overnight. | 1:09:01 | 1:09:02 | |
You may not need to. | 1:09:02 | 1:09:04 | |
Just secure them, then. | 1:09:04 | 1:09:05 | |
We should cover these tiers. | 1:09:06 | 1:09:07 | |
I need more rope. | 1:09:17 | 1:09:18 | |
I need more food. | 1:09:18 | 1:09:20 | |
In the warm. | 1:09:20 | 1:09:21 | |
You go on, I'll follow. | 1:09:21 | 1:09:23 | |
-MADAME LE NOTRE: -Madame de Barra. | 1:09:34 | 1:09:36 | |
My name is Le Notre. | 1:09:41 | 1:09:43 | |
Madame. | 1:09:49 | 1:09:50 | |
Did you ever see someone | 1:09:52 | 1:09:53 | |
and know that they were to play a role in your life? | 1:09:53 | 1:09:55 | |
You're a widow, I believe. | 1:09:57 | 1:09:59 | |
How lonely that must be. | 1:09:59 | 1:10:01 | |
I've known for some time that Andre had some secret happiness, | 1:10:03 | 1:10:08 | |
but my husband's ambitions are married only to mine. | 1:10:08 | 1:10:11 | |
You're not the first diversion, | 1:10:12 | 1:10:14 | |
and I believe at the moment, | 1:10:14 | 1:10:16 | |
not the only one. | 1:10:16 | 1:10:17 | |
You will come and you will go. | 1:10:18 | 1:10:20 | |
Understand me, madame. | 1:10:22 | 1:10:24 | |
It suits my husband and I this way. | 1:10:25 | 1:10:27 | |
Pretty thing. | 1:10:42 | 1:10:43 | |
-VINCENT: -We found the sluice gate that connects the reservoir to the fountain. | 1:11:10 | 1:11:14 | |
If we fill it, the pressure in the pipes will build, | 1:11:14 | 1:11:17 | |
and we can flood the grove. | 1:11:17 | 1:11:18 | |
Do it. | 1:11:21 | 1:11:23 | |
Later. | 1:11:28 | 1:11:29 | |

THUNDER CRACKING | 1:12:29 | 1:12:30 | |
RINGING | 1:12:34 | 1:12:35 | |
-DURAS: -Use the wood to hold it down! | 1:13:08 | 1:13:10 | |
The sluice gate must be open! | 1:13:13 | 1:13:14 | |
We need more hands! | 1:13:14 | 1:13:16 | |
Then pray. | 1:13:16 | 1:13:17 | |
To hell with that. | 1:13:18 | 1:13:19 | |
GRUNTS | 1:13:42 | 1:13:43 | |

CRIES OUT | 1:15:10 | 1:15:11 | |
Thank you. | 1:15:46 | 1:15:47 | |
Will it mend? | 1:15:58 | 1:16:00 | |
It will mend. | 1:16:00 | 1:16:02 | |
The tiers were too weak. | 1:16:03 | 1:16:05 | |
The gate was left open. | 1:16:05 | 1:16:07 | |
You cannot be blamed for that, or the storm. | 1:16:07 | 1:16:09 | |
What should I do? | 1:16:13 | 1:16:14 | |
Adapt. | 1:16:14 | 1:16:16 | |
Like a well-trained plant? | 1:16:18 | 1:16:20 | |
Like a well-trained plant. | 1:16:21 | 1:16:23 | |
Am I part of an amusement for you? | 1:16:29 | 1:16:32 | |
Not at all. | 1:16:33 | 1:16:34 | |
I'm unused to all this. | 1:16:35 | 1:16:37 | |
Is it honest? | 1:16:41 | 1:16:42 | |
-Are you? -No. | 1:16:44 | 1:16:46 | |
I have not been honest since I watched you in my garden. | 1:16:48 | 1:16:50 | |
Your heart beats fiercely. Mine just ticks. | 1:16:52 | 1:16:54 | |
I have not gifts to offer such a wonder. | 1:16:57 | 1:16:59 | |
If you are hungry, I'll feed you. | 1:17:02 | 1:17:04 | |
If I am mad, you will tell me. | 1:17:06 | 1:17:07 | |
You are not mad. | 1:17:08 | 1:17:10 | |
You don't know all of me yet. | 1:17:11 | 1:17:13 | |
Are you hungry? | 1:17:18 | 1:17:19 | |
Starving. | 1:17:21 | 1:17:22 | |
SABINE SOBS | 1:17:39 | 1:17:40 | |
LE NOTRE: Are you not happy? | 1:17:40 | 1:17:41 | |
Yes. | 1:17:43 | 1:17:44 | |
That's what is making me cry. | 1:17:46 | 1:17:48 | |
I can't. | 1:18:02 | 1:18:04 | |
I can't. | 1:18:09 | 1:18:11 | |
Don't ask me. | 1:18:11 | 1:18:12 | |
-KING LOUIS: -What am I to say? "It is original"? | 1:19:05 | 1:19:08 | |
"Continue indefinitely"? | 1:19:08 | 1:19:10 | |
Do you expect that of us? | 1:19:10 | 1:19:11 | |
You've been working with Madame de Barra. | 1:19:14 | 1:19:16 | |
Are you committed to this design? | 1:19:17 | 1:19:19 | |
-DURAS: -If I may say, Your Majesty, | 1:19:19 | 1:19:21 | |
I was just as sceptical as you are in the beginning, like. | 1:19:21 | 1:19:23 | |
But now? | 1:19:23 | 1:19:24 | |
I'm a convert, so to speak, Your Majesty. | 1:19:24 | 1:19:26 | |
Even now, the setbacks were due to nature, sire. | 1:19:26 | 1:19:29 | |
Perfection does not bow to nature. | 1:19:29 | 1:19:30 | |
What on earth are those things? | 1:19:30 | 1:19:32 | |
-DURAS: -Well, sire, I'm glad you asked me that, because that, really, | 1:19:32 | 1:19:35 | |
is what Madame de Barra is. | 1:19:35 | 1:19:37 | |
Odd, sire. | 1:19:37 | 1:19:38 | |
May I show Your Majesty? | 1:19:38 | 1:19:39 | |
You will recall what I said about Nymphs and Shepherds. | 1:19:49 | 1:19:53 | |
As we age, we see things more clearly. | 1:19:53 | 1:19:56 | |
This project... | 1:19:57 | 1:19:58 | |
..is it worthy of us? | 1:20:00 | 1:20:02 | |
There's no precedent for Madame de Barra's vision. | 1:20:08 | 1:20:10 | |
Trust is all we can give to those who reach into the new, sire. | 1:20:12 | 1:20:15 | |
But when beauty can be described with such imagination, | 1:20:17 | 1:20:19 | |
then her art, above all I know... | 1:20:19 | 1:20:22 | |
..is worthy of the king. | 1:20:23 | 1:20:24 | |
I see only mud. | 1:20:28 | 1:20:30 | |
Your words we will weigh later. | 1:20:33 | 1:20:35 | |
For now, inform Madame de Barra | 1:20:37 | 1:20:39 | |
that I shall see her at Fontainebleau. | 1:20:39 | 1:20:41 | |
Andre? | 1:21:17 | 1:21:18 | |
Well, look who's here?! | 1:21:32 | 1:21:33 | |
Were you here all night? | 1:21:41 | 1:21:43 | |
He said all he could see was mud. | 1:21:43 | 1:21:45 | |
This will all work out. | 1:21:47 | 1:21:50 | |
I can call in some favours owed. | 1:21:50 | 1:21:51 | |
We can...double our hours, | 1:21:51 | 1:21:53 | |
and with the extra work force we'll get through it. | 1:21:53 | 1:21:56 | |
But you need to be the boss man. | 1:21:56 | 1:21:57 | |
Charm them all. As well as His Majesty. | 1:21:57 | 1:22:00 | |
Think you can remember how to? | 1:22:00 | 1:22:03 | |
Charm them? | 1:22:03 | 1:22:04 | |
The master's with you, anyway. | 1:22:04 | 1:22:07 | |
Did you hear him out there? | 1:22:07 | 1:22:08 | |
Hmm. | 1:22:10 | 1:22:12 | |
Looked as if he hadn't slept either. | 1:22:12 | 1:22:14 | |
I wondered when that fire would get lit. | 1:22:18 | 1:22:21 | |
I do not know... | 1:22:34 | 1:22:36 | |
..what story this tells | 1:22:37 | 1:22:40 | |
or what harm it is part of. | 1:22:40 | 1:22:42 | |
This is a bad end for both of us... | 1:22:44 | 1:22:46 | |
..and I am sorry for it. | 1:22:47 | 1:22:49 | |
-ANTOINE: -Welcome to Fontainebleau. | 1:23:40 | 1:23:42 | |
-SABINE: -Antoine. -How beautiful you look. | 1:23:42 | 1:23:44 | |
I believe it is compulsory. | 1:23:45 | 1:23:47 | |
Indeed. However, some of the ladies find it more of a challenge. | 1:23:47 | 1:23:49 | |
I am bound to say, I see no trace of that challenge in you. | 1:23:49 | 1:23:52 | |
Do not talk to me about it, madame. | 1:23:52 | 1:23:53 | |
I am ruined by the expense, and worse, | 1:23:53 | 1:23:55 | |
it is interfering with my gaming. | 1:23:55 | 1:23:57 | |
I must confess that escorting you down is something of a coup. | 1:23:59 | 1:24:01 | |
How so? | 1:24:03 | 1:24:04 | |
There are several parties who are anxious to meet you. | 1:24:04 | 1:24:07 | |
I am no-one. | 1:24:07 | 1:24:08 | |
What could the interest be? | 1:24:08 | 1:24:10 | |
Madame, you answer yourself. | 1:24:10 | 1:24:12 | |
You see how they look at you? | 1:24:12 | 1:24:14 | |
You are no-one where everybody is someone, | 1:24:14 | 1:24:16 | |
and yet you are here. | 1:24:16 | 1:24:18 | |
That makes you more the someone. | 1:24:18 | 1:24:20 | |
Especially if you have conversation. | 1:24:20 | 1:24:22 | |
Words just tumble. | 1:24:22 | 1:24:23 | |
LAUGHING | 1:24:23 | 1:24:24 | |
You see? | 1:24:26 | 1:24:27 | |
People are looking our way with interest, because of my mirth. | 1:24:27 | 1:24:30 | |
But the hordes may not have you yet. | 1:24:30 | 1:24:32 | |
I am under strict instruction to convey you to one person in particular. | 1:24:32 | 1:24:35 | |
The Marquise de Montespan. | 1:24:35 | 1:24:37 | |
Heavens, the lengths I've had to go to, madame. | 1:24:37 | 1:24:39 | |
I have had to bribe, lie and use every form of deception to meet you. | 1:24:39 | 1:24:43 | |
How much did you pay the maitre d'hotel? | 1:24:43 | 1:24:45 | |
Five gold louis. Was that too much? | 1:24:45 | 1:24:47 | |
Money well spent. | 1:24:47 | 1:24:48 | |
Lauzun, I love you dearly. | 1:24:48 | 1:24:50 | |
Kiss me now and leave me to explore my prize. | 1:24:50 | 1:24:52 | |
I shall enjoy you later. | 1:24:52 | 1:24:54 | |
-Madame. -Good fortune at the tables. | 1:24:54 | 1:24:56 | |
I feel lucky tonight. | 1:24:56 | 1:24:58 | |
My dearest friend and a most divine lover. | 1:24:58 | 1:25:01 | |
What can I say, madame? | 1:25:01 | 1:25:02 | |
Events overtook us before I had the king's interest. | 1:25:02 | 1:25:05 | |
Is this your first time at Fontainebleau? | 1:25:05 | 1:25:07 | |
-It is. -Have you no birth? | 1:25:07 | 1:25:08 | |
Not a drop. No blood whatsoever. | 1:25:08 | 1:25:10 | |
You are here entirely on your own merits. | 1:25:10 | 1:25:13 | |
I know a famous man. | 1:25:13 | 1:25:14 | |
Ah, I see. | 1:25:14 | 1:25:15 | |
I was going to offer you Lauzun, | 1:25:15 | 1:25:16 | |
but you're ahead of the game. | 1:25:16 | 1:25:17 | |
-Athenais. -Palatine. | 1:25:17 | 1:25:20 | |
And Madame de Barra. | 1:25:23 | 1:25:25 | |
I'm so happy to see you again. | 1:25:25 | 1:25:27 | |
Princess. | 1:25:27 | 1:25:28 | |
Oh, please, call me madame. | 1:25:28 | 1:25:30 | |
It's affectionate, and everybody does. | 1:25:30 | 1:25:31 | |
Come. My secret space. | 1:25:31 | 1:25:34 | |
-Do you dig earth? -Yes. | 1:25:40 | 1:25:43 | |
Yet you're not blackened by the sun. | 1:25:43 | 1:25:45 | |
Perhaps a little. | 1:25:45 | 1:25:46 | |
And never had the smallpox. Your skin is clear. | 1:25:46 | 1:25:49 | |
Show us your breasts. Are they pretty? | 1:25:49 | 1:25:51 | |
Would you like to see mine? Mine are the most beautiful. | 1:25:51 | 1:25:53 | |
Yes, they are, apart from Suzanne, who's 70. | 1:25:53 | 1:25:57 | |
Oh, yes, hers are perfect. | 1:25:57 | 1:25:59 | |
-You see, here, touch. -Oh! | 1:25:59 | 1:26:02 | |
Your eyes are the colour of the sea. | 1:26:05 | 1:26:07 | |
This gown is cut differently. | 1:26:07 | 1:26:09 | |
I like it at the waist. | 1:26:09 | 1:26:10 | |
Are you married? | 1:26:10 | 1:26:12 | |
-Widowed. -WOMAN #1: Did you like your husband? | 1:26:12 | 1:26:14 | |
-Yes. WOMAN #2: -Children? | 1:26:14 | 1:26:15 | |
Dead? | 1:26:19 | 1:26:20 | |
A girl. | 1:26:21 | 1:26:22 | |
How old? | 1:26:24 | 1:26:25 | |
Six. | 1:26:27 | 1:26:28 | |
Palatine has lost her son, too. | 1:26:28 | 1:26:31 | |
He was four. | 1:26:33 | 1:26:35 | |
So little and beautiful. | 1:26:35 | 1:26:38 | |
Charles was one. | 1:26:38 | 1:26:39 | |
I lost Joan and Ann together. | 1:26:39 | 1:26:42 | |
Smallpox. | 1:26:42 | 1:26:44 | |
I lost my husband and my son on the battlefield. | 1:26:44 | 1:26:47 | |
They died in each other's arms. | 1:26:47 | 1:26:49 | |
I'm barely here. | 1:26:51 | 1:26:52 | |
How did they die? | 1:26:53 | 1:26:54 | |
-WOMAN #3: -Do you find it hard to speak of it? | 1:26:57 | 1:26:59 | |
WOMAN #4: That can happen. | 1:27:00 | 1:27:02 | |
I put everything in a trunk. | 1:27:06 | 1:27:07 | |
All their clothes, shoes... | 1:27:10 | 1:27:12 | |
..her toys. | 1:27:13 | 1:27:15 | |
I haven't had the courage to go in there since. | 1:27:16 | 1:27:18 | |
When you are strong enough, my dear, | 1:27:22 | 1:27:25 | |
when you are strong enough. | 1:27:25 | 1:27:27 | |
DE MONTESPAN: We're not allowed to speak of death at court. | 1:27:27 | 1:27:29 | |
The king does not like it, | 1:27:31 | 1:27:32 | |
but we speak about it amongst ourselves. | 1:27:32 | 1:27:34 | |
Nobody may ban a child from its mother's heart. | 1:27:34 | 1:27:38 | |
I commended all my children into Maintenon's care. | 1:27:41 | 1:27:44 | |
How she has turned on me now. | 1:27:44 | 1:27:46 | |
Saintly old bitch. | 1:27:48 | 1:27:50 | |
It is an amazement to me a convent has not claimed her. | 1:27:51 | 1:27:55 | |
Costume's not as lavish. ALL LAUGH | 1:27:55 | 1:27:57 | |
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING, WOMAN SHUSHING | 1:27:58 | 1:28:00 | |
Oh. The king comes. | 1:28:00 | 1:28:01 | |
Have you been presented before? | 1:28:02 | 1:28:04 | |

DOOR OPENS | 1:28:20 | 1:28:21 | |
Your Majesty, it is my pleasure | 1:28:40 | 1:28:42 | |
to present Madame de Barra. | 1:28:42 | 1:28:44 | |
Madame. | 1:28:46 | 1:28:47 | |
Your Majesty. | 1:28:51 | 1:28:52 | |
Is it a Four Seasons? | 1:28:56 | 1:28:58 | |
-CHUCKLES -It is, Sire. | 1:28:59 | 1:29:01 | |
For the most famous gardener in the world. | 1:29:02 | 1:29:04 | |
Allow me, | 1:29:07 | 1:29:09 | |
Your Majesty. | 1:29:09 | 1:29:11 | |
A light, honest scent. | 1:29:19 | 1:29:21 | |
Natural and unforced. | 1:29:24 | 1:29:26 | |
Some of the roses seem faded... | 1:29:30 | 1:29:31 | |
..and overblown. | 1:29:33 | 1:29:34 | |
That fate awaits all roses, Sire. | 1:29:41 | 1:29:43 | |
Continue, madame. | 1:29:47 | 1:29:49 | |
All roses are open to the elements, Your Majesty. | 1:29:50 | 1:29:54 | |
They bud, bloom and fade. | 1:29:54 | 1:29:56 | |
Is that so, madame? | 1:29:59 | 1:30:00 | |
The rose grows entirely unaware, | 1:30:00 | 1:30:03 | |
changing naturally from one state to another, | 1:30:03 | 1:30:07 | |
and although the elements may treat her cruelly... | 1:30:07 | 1:30:09 | |
..she knows nothing of it and continues to her end | 1:30:10 | 1:30:13 | |
without judgment on her beauty. | 1:30:13 | 1:30:15 | |
Alas, 'tis not the same for us. | 1:30:16 | 1:30:20 | |
If such a rose could speak... | 1:30:22 | 1:30:24 | |
..what would she say? | 1:30:27 | 1:30:28 | |
Yes, I am here... | 1:30:30 | 1:30:32 | |
and gave service under nature's eye, | 1:30:33 | 1:30:35 | |
..and after me, my children will be. | 1:30:36 | 1:30:40 | |
Is there any greater contribution or more graceful end? | 1:30:41 | 1:30:44 | |
A wise rose. | 1:30:46 | 1:30:47 | |
And what protection can the gardener afford this rose | 1:30:52 | 1:30:56 | |
from the harsh elements of change? | 1:30:56 | 1:30:58 | |
Patience, care... | 1:30:59 | 1:31:01 | |
..and a little warmth from the sun | 1:31:02 | 1:31:04 | |
are our best hope, Your Majesty. | 1:31:04 | 1:31:05 | |
I'm obliged to you, madame, for that sweet reminder. | 1:31:20 | 1:31:24 | |
Now walk with me. | 1:31:31 | 1:31:32 | |
And tell me of | 1:31:35 | 1:31:37 | |
your progress in our garden. | 1:31:37 | 1:31:39 | |
Her kindness, | 1:32:06 | 1:32:08 | |
unbribed. | 1:32:08 | 1:32:10 | |
That was very brave tonight. | 1:32:22 | 1:32:24 | |
I hoped he might listen. | 1:32:26 | 1:32:27 | |
Enough humility. | 1:32:27 | 1:32:29 | |
PANTING | 1:33:46 | 1:33:47 | |
MOANS | 1:34:07 | 1:34:08 | |
Who's there? | 1:35:08 | 1:35:09 | |
Who's there? I saw them die. | 1:35:10 | 1:35:12 | |
I can hear her so clearly. | 1:35:14 | 1:35:16 | |
I feel her. | 1:35:18 | 1:35:19 | |
I am unlocked. | 1:35:26 | 1:35:27 | |
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING | 1:35:28 | 1:35:30 | |
There you are. | 1:35:38 | 1:35:40 | |
Philippe. | 1:35:41 | 1:35:42 | |
You're dressed. | 1:35:52 | 1:35:53 | |
I'm off on business to Chartres. | 1:35:53 | 1:35:55 | |
Thought I would take Marie-Claire. | 1:35:55 | 1:35:57 | |
There's a good puppet stand and a pie shop. | 1:35:57 | 1:35:59 | |
Marie-Claire! Are you there? | 1:36:01 | 1:36:03 | |
Papa! Did you find her? | 1:36:03 | 1:36:05 | |
-DE BARRA: -Here is Belle Boobie asleep with Mama. | 1:36:05 | 1:36:08 | |
-HIGH-PITCHED: -Hello, Marie-Claire. | 1:36:08 | 1:36:10 | |
MARIE-CLAIRE: You naughty doll! | 1:36:10 | 1:36:11 | |
Come here and I shall punish you. | 1:36:11 | 1:36:13 | |
Oh, my goodness. Is she all right? | 1:36:14 | 1:36:16 | |
Don't be silly. She's made of cloth. | 1:36:16 | 1:36:18 | |
Heavens! What a relief! I shall have to sit down now. | 1:36:18 | 1:36:21 | |
Sabine, I have something to tell you. | 1:36:27 | 1:36:29 | |
-SABINE: -How long? | 1:36:31 | 1:36:32 | |
-DE BARRA: -We've not been close of late. | 1:36:32 | 1:36:33 | |
And most men take mistresses in due course in such circumstances. | 1:36:34 | 1:36:38 | |
Such circumstances? | 1:36:38 | 1:36:40 | |
What's her name? | 1:36:41 | 1:36:43 | |
Diane. | 1:36:44 | 1:36:45 | |
Where does she live? | 1:36:45 | 1:36:47 | |
Berry. | 1:36:48 | 1:36:49 | |
Oh. | 1:36:49 | 1:36:51 | |
Not too far. | 1:36:51 | 1:36:52 | |
CARRIAGE APPROACHING | 1:36:52 | 1:36:54 | |
There's the coach now. | 1:36:54 | 1:36:57 | |
We'll talk again on this matter. | 1:36:57 | 1:36:58 | |
When will you be back? | 1:37:02 | 1:37:04 | |
This evening, madame. | 1:37:05 | 1:37:07 | |
Do not "madame" me, Philippe. | 1:37:07 | 1:37:10 | |
Marie-Claire, tie your laces. You'll fall over them. | 1:37:17 | 1:37:20 | |
-I can't, Mama. -Wait there. | 1:37:20 | 1:37:23 | |
Master, look at this. | 1:37:28 | 1:37:29 | |
Marie-Claire. | 1:37:33 | 1:37:34 | |
Marie-Claire. | 1:37:35 | 1:37:37 | |
Jean, the wheel. | 1:37:40 | 1:37:41 | |
-JEAN: -I told the master. | 1:37:41 | 1:37:43 | |
He said it would do until Berry. | 1:37:43 | 1:37:44 | |
Berry? | 1:37:44 | 1:37:45 | |
Marie-Claire! | 1:37:48 | 1:37:50 | |
I did not kiss Mama. | 1:37:50 | 1:37:51 | |
Stop! Stop! | 1:38:11 | 1:38:13 | |
YELLING | 1:38:13 | 1:38:14 | |
CRIES OUT | 1:38:18 | 1:38:19 | |
No, no! | 1:38:26 | 1:38:27 | |
GASPS | 1:38:29 | 1:38:30 | |
No! No! | 1:38:40 | 1:38:44 | |
Sabine! | 1:38:44 | 1:38:45 | |
SOBBING | 1:38:47 | 1:38:48 | |
She was the most beautiful thing I ever made, | 1:39:01 | 1:39:04 | |
and I killed her. | 1:39:04 | 1:39:05 | |
Did you intend them to die? Is that what you planned? | 1:39:10 | 1:39:13 | |
It was... It was your husband's choice. | 1:39:14 | 1:39:16 | |
He took away the child. | 1:39:16 | 1:39:17 | |
No, it was my fault. | 1:39:17 | 1:39:19 | |
It was my fault. I let him take her away. | 1:39:19 | 1:39:21 | |
What if no-one person is to blame? | 1:39:21 | 1:39:23 | |
And what use is blame? | 1:39:23 | 1:39:25 | |
It is enough to have it happen to you. | 1:39:25 | 1:39:26 | |
It is enough to recover from it. | 1:39:26 | 1:39:28 | |
That is as much as we may ask of ourselves. | 1:39:30 | 1:39:32 | |
That is enough. | 1:39:32 | 1:39:33 | |
What is it that would help you? | 1:39:39 | 1:39:40 | |
If you held me. | 1:39:42 | 1:39:43 | |
What will happen to your wife? | 1:39:57 | 1:39:59 | |
This was not the way we started. | 1:40:05 | 1:40:07 | |
So we must have taught each other how to behave. | 1:40:10 | 1:40:12 | |
I am to blame for it as much as she. | 1:40:16 | 1:40:18 | |
She will live her own life. | 1:40:23 | 1:40:25 | |
She knows that now. | 1:40:27 | 1:40:28 | |
And us? | 1:40:32 | 1:40:34 | |
We will shape each other. | 1:40:38 | 1:40:39 | |
This isn't the right way. | 1:41:05 | 1:41:06 | |
-Yes, it is. We're behind that fence. -Oh! | 1:41:06 | 1:41:10 | |
For heaven's sake! | 1:41:10 | 1:41:12 | |
I have to rent this. | 1:41:12 | 1:41:14 | |
Waste of money! | 1:41:14 | 1:41:15 | |
What do you mean? | 1:41:15 | 1:41:16 | |
No-one will see us. | 1:41:16 | 1:41:18 | |
The music comes from the heavens. | 1:41:18 | 1:41:21 | |
Fair winds, Sabine. | 1:42:08 | 1:42:09 | |
Madame is lucky in her friends. | 1:42:21 | 1:42:23 | |
WATER FLOWING | 1:43:09 | 1:43:10 | |
LE NOTRE: He loves it. | 1:43:34 | 1:43:35 | |
-SABINE: -Do I look very flushed? | 1:44:55 | 1:44:56 | |
No, you look beautiful. | 1:44:58 | 1:44:59 | |
Are you flattering me? | 1:44:59 | 1:45:01 | |
Is that wrong? | 1:45:01 | 1:45:02 | |
Call me madame again. | 1:45:04 | 1:45:06 |
