Review by johnpierrepatrick

If I cannot say I have been wronged by the title, I was still expecting more from this movie that 2 hours watching an old man dying in his bed, with some medical debates in addition. I expected to learn more about Louis XIV personality, the state of France and Versailles court at that time and the impact it had. The fact it was directed by a Spanish was all the more reason to hope watch a more objective view on that well-known king.

Here's then my warning : do watch this movie only if you're prepared to follow the last hours of a sick man in a closed-room setting.
