Le roi danse (2000)

"Le roi danse" is a French period drama set in the court of Louis XIV. It traces composer Jean-Baptiste Lully's bond with the Sun King through music and political maneuvering. Between the palace intrigue and baroque staging, Claire Keim brings a subtler, more physical presence to the production. The archive carries just one clip from the film. It catches Keim in a topless scene that breaks from the courtly restraint around it. Anyone drawn to period dramas with an unexpected bit of skin will want to check this one out.
