Le Roi Danse plot
At the age of 14, Louis XIV knows that he will come to power one day, but he also knows that everything will be done to prevent him from reigning. He is paralyzed by this. Thanks to the dance in which the young king excels and thanks to the music Lully writes for him, the young king reveals himself to himself and then to the world. Thanks to the pieces of music written for him and the choreography pieces that make him stand out, the young Lodewijk changes into the Sun King. While dancing, he escapes mortality.

Farinelli, by the same director, appealed to me a bit more. That film wasn't overwhelmingly strong or anything either, but it did manage to hold my attention better. Le Roi Danse does get a bit boring at times, and I think the film is ultimately only worthwhile if this piece of history truly interests you. For me, it remained reasonably entertaining mainly due to some beautiful visuals and the downright magnificent music. That compensates for the somewhat stiff story and acting.
