This scathing comedy is set in the court of Louis XVI, where fortunes were made and lost with a well-honed witticism. Ridicule brings a breath of fresh air to the costume drama, relating the story of a provincial engineer who comes to Versailles with an idealistic drainage proposal.

Winner of 4 César Awards
