Vatel (2000)

Vatel is a lavish 2000 period drama set in the court of Louis XIV. It follows the famed steward tasked with staging an extravagant celebration for the Sun King. Amid the opulence and political scheming, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu appears as part of the aristocratic backdrop. The archive holds 2 scenes from the film showing her bared for the camera. It's a small but worthwhile find for anyone tracking her early screen work. The lush costuming and candlelit sets only heighten the appeal of catching her undressed on camera.
