"Traces the creation of an absolute monarchy by France's 'Sun King,' Louis XIV."
""A superb, documentary-like account of the famous manarch as he takes power in the French court following the death of Cardinal Mazarin. The 22-year-old king must free himself from the control of all who would take advantage of his inexperience, including his mother"--Cassette container."
"A dramatized portrait of Louis XIV stressing the contrasting arrogance and uncertainty in a man to whom power and its use were everything."
"Dramatised account of how Louis XIV set about taking over the reins of government."
"Évocation synthétique du moment de l'histoire de France où s'instaure le pouvoir personnel d'un roi, fondateur de la monarchie absolue. Le jeune Louis XIV reçoit de son ministre Mazarin, dont la mort est imminente, les conseils politiques qui le prémuniront contre la Fronde des Grands et un serviteur d'une fidélité exemplaire, Colbert. Exécution du grand dessein: la reine-mère est écartée du Conseil, le surintendant Fouquet est incarcéré, et le roi invente et impose un luxe ostentatoire et ruineux à la cour."
"Documentary film on Louis XIV (1638-1715), King of France, directed by R. Rossellini (1906-1977)."@en
""Le royaume de France, en 1661. Le cardinal Mazarin se meurt. Il souhaite s'entretenir avec le jeune Roi Louis XIV, âgé de 23 ans, avant de mourir. Leur conversation rassure l'agonisant : le Roi saura se montrer à la hauteur de la tâche qui l'attend..."
"Le jeune Louis XIV reçoit de son ministre Mazarin, dont la mort est imminente, les conseils politiques qui le prémuniront contre la Fronde des Grands , et un serviteur d'une fidélité à toute épreuve, Colbert. Rossellini nous fait vivre la progression du jeune roi jusqu'à son affirmation comme monarque absolu."
""Le cardinal Mazarin se meurt, et s'inquiète : le jeune Louis XIV, roi frivole, saura-t-il se montrer à la hauteur de la tâche qui l'attend ? À travers la montée en puissance de celui qui, en prenant en main à la fois les affaires du pays et celles de la cour, deviendra le roi Soleil, Rossellini, le père du néo-réalisme, cinéaste engagé, nous livre un regard quasi-documentaire sur la monarchie de droit divin mais aussi une réflexion cruellement contemporaine sur le pouvoir et la représentation. Il renouvelle ainsi à la fois le genre historique, et l'image du mythique Louis XIV que l'on croyait connaître". --Verso du conteneur."
"Director Roberto Rossellini, regarded as the father of Italian neorealism, invests his portrayl of Louis XIV with overtones of realism, in this dramatization of the rise to power of the king, whose extraordinary reign (from 1643-1715) brought the monarchy to its zenith, and marks the great classical age of French culture."
"Cardinal Mazarin dies in 1661. The young Louis asserts his intention to govern as well as rule. Mazarin's fiscal advisor, Colbert, warns against Fouquet, who wants to be prime minister and is looting the treasury. Fouquet believes Louis will soon tire of exercizing power and overplays his hand. Louis' mistress reports this to the king who arrests Fouquet. Louis and Colbert design a brilliant strategy to keep merchants making money, nobles in debt, the urban poor working and fed, and peasants untaxed. Years later, in a coda, Louis exercises the power of the sun."

"Fiction. Drame historique. 1961. Le Cardinal Mazarin se meurt et les médecins ne voient pas d'issue à son mal. Âgé de 23 ans, le futur roi Louis XIV ne semble pas apte à régner. Sa frivolité fait craindre l'agonisant. Le film évoque l'instauration de la monarchie absolue par le Roi Soleil, à partir de la transition de deux formes de pouvoir jusqu'à la fin du règne de ce roi de France. Avec Jean-Marie Patte, Raymond Jourdan, Silvagni, Katharina Renn."
