Marquise [1997]

In Lyon, Marquise, an ambitious young actress, is seduced by René du Parc - a member of Molière's troupe - and is taken to Versailles to be introduced to King Louis XIV. Marquise is now known as the 'darling' of the court, leading to a life of intense passion. A true blockbuster of French cinema that is exquisitely shot in key historical locations.
