Watch The Taking of Power by Louis XIV (1966) together, long-distance

About the film

The Taking of Power by Louis XIV (French: La prise de pouvoir par Louis XIV), also called The Rise of Louis XIV, is a 1966 French television film directed by the Italian Roberto Rossellini and written by Philippe Erlanger and Jean Gruault. It describes how the young king Louis XIV and his lieutenant Jean-Baptiste Colbert restructured French politics and undermined their noble rivals to create an absolute monarchy. Richard Brody wrote that the film "traces the rise of modern French culture—indeed, of modern France—to very specific moments in the young king's struggle to preserve his fragile reign."
