"13.1. 2024 Aside from creating some of the most important films ever, Rossellini also realized possibilites of TV productions and dedicated his last years entirely to them. "La prise de pouvoir par Louis XIV" isn't a high drama or any kind of epic, but an intimate examination of power and corruption. In the story Cardinal Mazarin dies and young king Louis XIV asserts his power. Rossellini reveals all the vanities, habits, and rules typical for aristocracy. Jean-Marie Patte, who plays Louis XIV,"
