On the DVD, there is a featurette about the dancing. Choreographer Beatrice Massin taught the dances both to Benoit Magimel, who plays Louis XIV in the film, and to professional baroque dancers who are made up to look as much like Magimel as possible. When you see the king dancing from a distance and doing quite difficult moves, you're seeing the professional dancer(s) hired as dance doubles.
And the curious thing is that we all are. Louis XIV just happened to know that about himself in a world where everybody else was, and still for the most is, blind to it. And, as they say, in the land of the blind he who sees is king, in this case quite literally.
Une scène mal fichue (la seule du film, je trouve) car trop caricaturale et pleine de raccourcis et d'erreurs (Molière toussait-il déjà lorsque le roi arrêta de danser ? -- à trente ans -- J'en doute). Dommage car les décors(le splendide bosquet de la salle de bal superbement restauré), les costumes et la musique sont époustouflants.
King Louis XIV was an accomplished ballet dancer, and often put his skills to work making a show of grandeur for his court. In the movie he couldn’t land the jump spin and rolled his ankle in front of his court, not a good sign from someone who’s supposed to be divinely appointed.
c'est un peu stupide de parler de la revolution francaise quand on parle d'un film qui justement met en avant la beaute d'un monarque absolut.... et pendant la revolution ceux qui disaient vive le roi finissaient rarement en happy ending....

@LaBelleDanse Can you please tell me how to acquire the DVD. I can't find it. Do you have a manufacturer number?
Many Thanks.
Why did the horses all of a sudden go out of control?
John McGough just for dramatic effect Im guessing.
Because everybody gasped and shouted I imagine, it spooked them.
Because they are French horses and are thus rude and prone to bouts of surrender.
I'm guessing the King got hurt during his dance.
Okay thanks. I am still a little lost but u have helped a bit. I guess I need to do some research.

@@AtaMarKat I think those sun things near his knees caught on something when he did the spin and jump and that’s what made him fall.
What kind of ballet is this, can someone tell me?
its a ballet à chiotte
MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE BEST
Fascist ritual? XD Learn history, baby, there is a great cronologycal contradictation.
But yes: vive la revolution!
The king was not fascist . Fascism did not exist at that time nor any revolution.
Vive la revolution Francaise!!!!!
VIVE LA ROI!!!
