@BackSideOFFThemoon Lucifer mean "the one who brings the light", lux=light fero=bring in latin language. So if you refer to jupiter, roman god, for lucifer, you're wrong. lucifer was the prince of light for roman.It's later that he became Jesus, and then Azazel, an angel who became lucifer, the one that everybody know. You made a historic mistake

A facinating film. Not historically accurate it is true, but it has permited the music of Lully to reach a far wider audiance; and many ignorant to his musical existance are now aware of his colossal contribution, not least to musical history, but to history per-se. His role subserviently tugging the coat tails of one of europes great meglamaniacs and self indulgent peacocks is clearly portrayed.This film is a masterpiece and the music and ballet sumptuous in the extreme!
