Roland Joffe, director of
Vatel ,
why he was interested in the substance:
One of the first innovative Star Chefs of the Nouvelle Vague in London, disappeared from job and family at the height of his success and was some lost time.
He was found as a homeless again, completely burned out. His explanation that he had left was all: no one could imagine the emotional pain that accompanies the effort to make people happy.
VATEL now is L'Intendant, the steward, the steward of a French country gentry. And that means - according to history offered - unheard of for a feast that the invited King of luxurious entertainment by L'Intendant is organized. In fact, l'Intendant Vatel is therefore responsible for meals and entertainment (in English means "Entertaining" curiously both: give a dinner talk and).
music, theater and special events, that are directed by Vatel lovingly, lost and exalted, of which this film tells. There are light on the intrigues of the nobility. And insights into the hardships and sacrifices of the service available to enable this charming drama, this feast for the senses.
Vatel tragedy is the overestimation of its role in those times:
He is a magician of the beautiful appearance, which will satisfy the vanity of power in games caught up nobles. Just not an artist ...
And the vanity of the ruling before making Vatel can not stop. He is in a deck of cards used by his landlord and ... VER plays. The know-how package, the savoir-faire named Vatel goes to the King. Vatel, is beyond this humiliation by suicide.
.... Reminds me of the protagonist in 99 francs - a creative recruiter, a magician of the beautiful appearance. The self-perception
this brilliant enfant terrible damage rudely by a yoghurt producer. Enfant Terribles
But revenge is terrible ... funny.
