(then released cinematically), Roberto Rossellini&#8217;s neo-realist costume drama is, as Peary notes, &#8220;slow-paced&#8221;, but provides &#8220;unusual viewing pleasure&#8221; for those with enough patience to sit through it. Rossellini boldly forgoes pomp and spectacle in favor of intimacy and realistic banter; the result is a quietly absorbing look at daily life and power machinations in Louis&#8217; court. While dramatic encounters and bold musical scores are the stock-in-trade of most historical dramas, Rossellini&#8217;s approach shows us what such elements deny us &#8212; the chance to eavesdrop on historical figures as they go about their everyday, minute-to-minute lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A meticulous, historically accurate evocation of 18th century France<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Still2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Still2-1024x653.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"408\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Still2-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Still2-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Still2-128x82.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Still2-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Still2.png 1509w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Colorful costumes and sets<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes-1024x618.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"386\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes-1024x618.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes-128x77.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes-1536x927.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Costumes.png 1603w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>An intriguing and revealing depiction of Louis&#8217; gradual rise-to-power<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Rise.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Rise-1024x670.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"419\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Rise-1024x670.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Rise-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Rise-128x84.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Rise-768x503.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/Rise-of-Louis-Rise.png 1459w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes.
