Le Triomphe de l'amour Prélude de la nuit (Lully)

[Lubbercus]

Incomparably stronger essences are seen in this film than in Corbiau's other one, Farinelli. This is not said to diminish the merits of the last one, wich are mostly "only" estetic.

[mossplace1]

My favourite sequence of the whole film! What power and what cinematic elegance tinged with great pathos, for both Moliere as well as Lully. The scene where Moliere, obviously terminally ill and aware of his own mortality being taunted by the dancing skeletal characters makes the hair on the back of ones neck stand on end!...But as a fellow contributor points out (western42) the reality of Moliere's passing was equally horrifiic and powerless to resist his visit from of Death.

[Darrigrande]

Qué escena más dura! En toda comedia, se esconde una tragedia! Si bién Moliére no murió en el proscenio, su muerte fué más o ménos lo que describe esta maravillosa escena de Corbieux: Una escena llena de dramatismo y poesía a la vez!.

[MsOal]

but historically speaking this movie is pretty bad since Lully, luis 14 and molier continued to have a close realción, luis 14 loved Molier comedies as well as operas and ballets of Lully and Lully never take the copyright''the bourgeois gentleman or Les Amants Magnifiques historical facts should maintain

[dxf323]

A licentous, incestous kiddy fiddling, unscrupulous, selfish man. Who manages to express the beauty and love of mankind through his music, part of me thinks that everything that was good in lully was expressed through his music, it shows that even some of the worst people have much soul and heart, brought a tear to my eye

[Princesseperuvienne]

(mode théâtreuse) Molière n'est pas mort sur scène bandes d'ignares!(plus en mode théâtreuse) en tout cas, mon petit Molière adoré- :)) - il meurt sur scène, devant plusieures personnes qui le regardent mourir en direct et qui font rien pour le sauver. Et il y a cet @#$%¥&£€* de Lully de malheur qui à était lui piquer ses chefs d'oeuvres!

[toujoursmanana]

This... This has to be one of the most beautiful scenes ever shot on film. I've watched and watched again and could watch it for all eternity as it so wonderfully conjugates a brilliant piece of music with such delightful choreography. I sincerely thank the director for giving me the chance to see such beauty.

[Ursuppenpater]

@toujoursmanana

yes i agree absolutely, i had the same feelings towards the death of an comedian and the symptons like you, unfortunately the movie is not available in Germany anymore, it is a very perfect image of an tragic towards our cultural history. Greetings from Germany

[lxmoya11]

Perhaps it is the best way to die.

[ImperatrixInfernalis]

One of the most tragic scenes of the movie. So dramatic, symbolic and sad, all at once. Molière truly lived and died doing what he did best. And the music really helps you to understand and actually feel his agony.

[Sergioddy]

He didn't die in the Stage. He died few hour later. When the Act was Over!!

[Uncas258]

It's so sad and wonderful!!

[Jupiterjazz100]

ammmm no eh visto la pelicula pero se ve que esta wuena!1!!

[khbsflabhklsrblfauhk]

2:10-2:38 is the sun setting

[JHONNYplatano]

very Wonderful and VERY VERY PRETTY music!!!

[Kokoleezah]

@adrianofsaraujo Whattttttttt !

?are you nuts, This is ART ,stupid!!

if you dont like it change the video because you are

bottering !

[Aslaug75]

@adrianofsaraujo A brilliant artist, you horrible homophobe.

[coreliandude76]

The first minute of the clip is the most disturbing of the whole movie "Le Roi Danse". Death dancing around and laughing as she gets her grasp on poor agonizing Moliere.

Man!!! If I had dancing skeletons mocking me and prancing all around me, I would really feel like dying. Really scary scene!!!

This film is one of my favorites of all time.

[Patatosoja]

Grimarest à son tour, voit la mort de Molière tout à fait différente.

[Patatosoja]

"Au bord de la mort, Molière fit venir Armande à son chevet. « Je vous pardonne, dit-il, de m'avoir été infidèle, car je meurs ce soir ». Puis il rendit l'âme entre les bras de son épouse : le sang qui sortait abondamment de sa bouche l'avait étouffé." dixit Boulgakov

[louicoba]

Moliére serait mort entouré de Baron ,d'un voisin qu'il aimait bien ,M.Couthon et de deux religieuses des Clarisses à Qui M de Monsieur de Molière avait coutume de donner l'hospitalité ???.......ON a toujours plaisir d'en dire quelques mots . Merci à vous Pour ces vidéo et vos commentaires .Tout cela reste très émouvant .

[tkroff1455]

La Grange écrit ce jour :

« Ce mesme jour après la Comédie sur les 10 heures du soir Monsieur de Molière mourust dans sa maison Rue de Richelieu, ayant joué le rosle dudit malade imaginaire fort incommodé d'un rhume de fluction sur la poitrine qui luy causoit une grande toux de sorte que dans les grans efforts qu'il fist pour cracher il se rompit une veyne dans le corps et ne vescut pas demye heure ou trois quarts d'heure depuis ladite veyne rompue. »."

[Patatosoja]

En effet, Molière est mort ainsi, bien que pas sur scène, comme beaucoup le disent. Il a respecté les conventions, a fait fermer le rideau et est mort étouffé par son sang durant son retour chez lui. Mais, à mon avis, la scène parait plus dramatique avec Molière mourrant sur scène ^^

[MsHyde1]

Awesome movie (I don't care if it is not historically acurate regarding the characters. That is not the point anyway), great scene and that dance is just.. wow. I am a conservator of paintings and the 17th century art has always been my favourite. The culture, the aethetics, the music and I had no idea the dances are just as wonderful. It's such a shame that this period of time with all it's art and science often gets reduced to cloak and dagger genre.

[gipcambero]

Molière est réellement mort comme ça ??

[labsent2804]

En tout cas, le mythe veux que Molière soit mort sur scène, le malade imaginaire état sa derbière création, les auteurs du film "Le Roi Danse" ont choisi de faire mourir Molière en pleine représentation.

[norcalrobbie2]

@gipcambero

There's a little truth to this. Moliere began coughing and hemorraging before collapsing while he acted in this play. He died shortly after (not during, as depicted here.)

[chrisbreizh29]

@gipcambero Apparemment il était très souvent malade des poumons jusqu'à ce qu'on le croit mort plusieurs fois. Ca a finis en hémorragie après plusieurs années et il est mort tout de même en dehors de la scène.

[claudusia1991]

Can someone can give me the title of the music who begins 0:46?

Quelqu'un peut me donner le titre de la musique qui commence 0:46?

[khbsflabhklsrblfauhk]

That'd be:

Triomphe de l'Amour: Prélude de la Nuit.

Its in the title...lol

[dxf323]

The most upset lully has probably ever got

[NewPaltzIndie]

i love the soundtrack! i hope you can get this film in the US

[LutzDerLurch]

Thank you very much.

[western42]

what moliere says is "a new symptom". during this point in his life, moliere, was suffering for severe tb and he continued to have caughing fits. In real life during one of the performances of this play Moliere actually had a caughing fit on stage much lik ein the clip, and shortly after the performance died. He literally caughed up a lung. what a bad way to go right?

[kenavo2103]

@western42 No he died doing what he liked best, instead of spitting out his lungs in a warm bed!

[ross26196]

lily allens new song yass

[LutzDerLurch]

Would anyone explain to me, in english, what was happening, and what they said? Thank you very much.

[Alex59494]

The man on stage is Molière playing Le Malade Imaginaire, and the other man with black hair we see is Lully, the composer who forbade him to integrate music inti his plays. Then this is the famous scene : Molière's death on stage accompagnied with Lully's Triomphe de l'Amour

I hope i was clear enough

[LutzDerLurch]

Hello! Thank you very much. I only wonder what words Molliere is speaking.

[teube]

"Drelin, drelin" not "trop las, trop las". It's meant to be the bell.

[PlenumPete]

Argan is calling for his maid, Toinette, having seen his apothecary's bill.

In French is "drelin" an onomatopoeic word for the ringing of a bell, or a word cleverly made up by Moliere, since Argan is a miser after all?

[PlenumPete]

Argan (Moliere) completes Scene 1 of Le Malade Imaginaire: Drelin, drelin, drelin. Ah! mon Dieu! Ils me laisseront ici mourir. Death as a mocking dance (music by Charpentier), taunts Moliere as he enters a state of delirium, from which he is shaken by a terminal consumptive fit, Moliere retorts in pure understatement "A new symptom". All is seemingly observed dispassionately by Lully, but Moliere's death throes are beautifully overlaid with Lully's Le Triomphe de l'amour Prélude de la nuit.

[shaitan34fr]

Della grazia, della violenza, della passione. Come non amare la musica barocca?

[gdbalck]

Oh the chills i get when that hapsicord plays after the scene goes quiet. You know intense drama is about to unfold. Baroque music can be so magnificent.

[LutzDerLurch]

I absolutely agree, gdblack.

[SCarleTT123star]

la danza macabraaaa!!! cest magnifique!!!

[missgwendo36]

Non Molière n'est pas mort sur scène on dit qu'il est mort 3 ou 4 jours apres !

[Moriyere]

Non, il est mort dans la soirée même chez lui des suites d'un malaise déclaré sur scène, c'est 4 jours plus tard qu'on l'a inhumé.

[gipcambero]

Molière n'a pas écouté ???

[grandglouton]

Molière meurt sur scène pendant le malade imaginaire, tandis que Lully compte les musiciens jouant pendant la pièce. Il avait obtenu un décret de Louis XIV lui réservant le droit de monter des spectacles musicaux avec un orchestre supérieur à 4 musiciens. Molière n'a pas écouté et a désobéit au roi. Lully ne lui pardonna pas.

[xeasternxz]

anyone know if this film is obtainble on dvd region 2 with english subtitles?

[clioandeuterpe]

I think this depiction of the death of Moliere was more touching and haunting than in A. Mnouchkine's 1978 "Moliere". Thank you for posting this!

[ninito75]

Même si le film prend quelques libertés sur le plan historique, "Le Roi Danse" n'en demeure pas moins un très bon film. Cette scène est l'une de mes préférées. Quand à la musique, elle est magnifique. Pour moi, Lully fut un génie au même titre que Bach ou Mozart. J'adore surtout ses oeuvres religieuses. Elles sont magnifiques, bouleversantes.

[yourengland]

from what i read he actually finished the play

[94David]

What is this scene about?

[lalungenuictdestens]

It's Moliere's death, when he was acting "Le malade immaginaire"; Lully is the guy with dark wig.

[9oclocknews]

Which film is this extract from? Ta!!

[lalungenuictdestens]

"Le Roi Danse" By Gérard Corbiau, the same director of "Farinelli il Castrato".

[lent77cv]

mercì pour cette video

[rosamattina31]

Superba bellezza che riesce a comunicare con vitalità oggi

adesso

[nonirish]

I still cannot understand how Lully isn't an ediface, so minor compared to other Baroque composers. I hope one day his works will be recognized for their great worth like Bach in the first half of the 1800's and Vivaldi after WWII.

[gipcambero]

Thank you. You've learnt me something

[altai67]

formidable....

[IntroitusM]

I really like this scene, the music, all. The movie is just awesome.

[Chaosdwarft]

Very powerful scene.

[gipcambero]

Molière est joué par qui ?

[Auxane]

Tchecky Karyo.

[bsartist]

Dying while performing a play called "Le malade Imaganaire", how's that for irony?

[frolll]

Moliere died at home right after that, actually, but was really forced to leave the stage because of its disease, I think they stopped the play. Though, I really like the way they put it here.

[frolll]

because of HIS disease of course ^^

[juan486]

What's happening at this scene?

[Matrioschka]

Molière is acting in "Le malade imaginaire" his last play. He died from pneumonia or tuberculosis on stage. This scene respresents his death, with his ex musician and collaborator Lulli who rejected him.

[juan486]

Thanks pal. This scene causes the impression desired on the public, it's kind of rough, but "great".

Thanks.

[rosenberyou]

Le malade imaginaire, Molier's last pice, he wrote with Charpentier. However Moliere and Lully has fight and they hasn't spoke 'till Moliere's death.

[jorgealbertobaron]

GRAN COMPOSITOR BARROCO

[cravista]

The first music that we hear isn't Lully but Charpentier, Le malade Imaganaire...an important detail...

[CardinalNoir]

Excellent, merci.

[midnightblue80]

My favorite part of the movie. Gotta love Lully counting the number of musicians.
