Le Déluge

(The Flood)

Piazza Grande

Italy, France · 2024 · DCP 4K · Color · 101' · o.v. French

Content language:

1792. Louis XVI, his wife Marie Antoinette, and their children have been arrested and imprisoned in the Tour du Temple, a sinister chateau in Paris, awaiting their trial. Far from the splendour of Versailles, they are isolated and vulnerable for the first time in their lives.

This is literally an apocalyptic film: it deals with the moment when all veils and all masks are stripped away. It has a metaphysical rather than a historical ambition, and explores a personal apocalypse: that of the protagonists.

Le Déluge

Piazza Grande

1792. Louis XVI, sa femme Marie-Antoinette et leurs enfants ont été arrêtés et incarcérés à la tour du Temple, une lugubre forteresse parisienne, dans l’attente de leur procès. Loin des fastes de Versailles, ils sont isolés et vulnérables pour la première fois dans leur vie.

1792. Luigi XVI, sua moglie Maria Antonietta e i loro figli sono stati arrestati e imprigionati nella Tour du Temple, una lugubre fortezza parigina, in attesa del loro processo. Per la prima volta nella loro vita si trovano isolati e vulnerabili lontano dagli splendori di Versailles.

1792. Ludwig XVI., seine Frau Marie Antoinette und ihre Kinder wurden verhaftet und im Tour du Temple, einem düsteren Schloss in Paris, eingekerkert, wo sie auf ihren Prozess warten. Weit weg vom prunkvollen Versailles sind sie zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben isoliert und verwundbar.

Questo è un film letteralmente apocalittico; riguarda quel momento in cui cadono ogni velo e ogni maschera. Ha un'ambizione metafisica piuttosto che storica e si addentra in un'apocalisse personale: quella dei protagonisti.

C’est un film littéralement apocalyptique : il aborde le moment où tombent tous les voiles et tous les masques. Avec une ambition plus métaphysique qu’historique, il explore une apocalypse personnelle, celle des protagonistes.

Es ist ein buchstäblich apokalyptischer Film: Er handelt vom Moment, in dem alle Schleier und Masken fallen. Sein Anspruch ist eher metaphysisch als historisch: Er erforscht die persönliche Apokalypse der Protagonist/innen.
