4.0 out of 5 stars A very french near-masterpiece, 5 Oct 2008
By Thomas Beale (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ridicule has always been one of the greatest fears of the french, and it still is, not surprisingly for a somewhat perfectionist and critical culture. This film shows the clash of the real world of the engineer Ponceludon who actually wants to make a difference to the miserable lives of those affected by malaria in the marshes where he lives, and thinks he knows how, and the absurd, narcissistic and hermetic world of the court of Louis XIV. Ponceludon has to turn his natural intelligence to the main attribute need in the court in order to make any progress: rapier-sharp, quick and if possibly cruel, wit. He does this, and manages to maintain his integrity and win in love as well. Berling along with Fanny Ardant, Jean Rochefort and Bernard Giraudeau produce engaging performances within a well-constructed plot and extravagant imagery of Versailles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Witty, Sexy, Fun, 8 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ridicule [VHS] [1997] (VHS Tape)
This is a great film about strange customs and relationships in pre-revolution France, and how a cutting wit was the key to your survival. The film is great fun to watch. In French with subtitles. What a cool peice of film making!
