Discussion with Mike Lardner
Dir: Bertrand Tavernier | 119 min | 1975 | France
Bertrand Tavernier's Let Joy Reign Supreme, is a detailed look at French monarchy, diplomacy and debauchery on the threshold of the French Revolution. Tavernier's favorite leading man Philippe Noiret (Life and Nothing But, Cinema Paradiso) plays the infamous Philippe d'Orleans, uncrowned king of a nation divided by appalling poverty and riddled with greed and conspiracy.
This film is launches the Brecht Forum’s year-long Revolution Series that includes the study group that will begin on September 22.
