Movie Reviews of Ridicule
Movie Review: A historian's viewpoint
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie gives a great portrayal of eighteenth-century court intrigues and culture. Many people don't know just how insane life could be during that time, especially for the upper classes. Seeing this film will give one a clue as to how French courtiers lived in the days before the Revolution. I suggest starting with this film, then moving on to other, more esoteric works if you want to begin a journey into eighteenth-century France.Movie Review: excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend loaned this to me a few days ago; said that I would enjoy it. I was dubious--how on earth was a movie based around the nuances of wordplay going to translate? Well, whoever was in charge of subtitling this one did a great job--a few minutes in, I forgot that I was hearing French and reading English.
Not a big fan of costume dramas or romances, but this one is an exception.
Movie Review: Great for teaching Pre-Revolution France!
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this movie each year in my Western Civ class to "set the stage" for our discussion of the French Revolution. The decadence and excessive luxury of the nobility contrasts starkly with the poverty of the peasants. Not to mention it has a great storyline that the students really enjoy! (And I don't mind watching it over and over)Movie Review: Brilliant, clever and engaging
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic, and one of the best period movies I have ever seen. The script is clever and witty and the performances are peerless. You will not be disappointed if you like sexual and political intrigue mixed in with brilliant dialogue set in 18th century France.Movie Review: Hollywood doesn't make them like this!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie excels! Production values, writing, razor sharp wit and period authenticity. Too bad Hollywood can't make them like this without dumbing everything down. If you love foreign movies or even just good movies, you wil love this one.
