An important clue... a new suspect... then suddenly, unexpectedly, a confession to murder.
(First shown on BBC1)
A series of seven films about aspects of their past made by seven European countries.
This film, made by French Television, traces the changes in social and philosophical ideas in France in the century that led up to the Revolution of 1789. Starting with the last years of Louis XIV, the film contrasts the artificiality of the court with the radical approach of writers like Diderot and Rousseau, and with the aspirations of the people as expressed in popular song. The central idea is the Fete, a word of many meanings whose interpretations range from the Fete Galante of Watteau to the Fete Populaire of the 14th of July.
