Our next film evening will feature,’Tous les matins du monde’ (1991), starring Gérard Depardieu. This classy biopic is about Marin Marais (1656-1728), composer and viol player, who was hired as a musician to the royal court of Versailles, at the tender age of 20.
The haunting sound of the viola da gamba sets the mood of this beautiful film.
