Bertrand Tavernier

Master and veteren filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier (The Princess of Montpensier) directs this gleeful political satire about a dashing, globetrotting French foreign minister whose charm and insouciance mask his utter incompetence.

Romantic and political drama set in the high courts of 16th century France, against the backdrop of the savage Catholic/Protestant war under the reign of Charles IX.  Follows the love triangle between the Princess, the Prince and her tutor. From veteran director Bertrand Tavernier (‘Round Midnight).
