I don’t speak a great deal of French but I was so intrigued by the
poster of this film that I thought I’d take a look. I loved it – I
hardly understood any of the conversations but it was clear from the
action what was going on. The costumes, sets and scenery are all
perfect and although the plot is rather obvious it’s not really the
point of this oeuvre (I know a few French words!). It is fast paced and
full of fun. I just have to wait for the DVD with English subtitles now
to fathom out what the hell they were saying to one another.....

Director:
Gérard Jugnot
Starring: Gérard Jugnot, Bernard Le Coq, Juan Diego, Assaad Bouab, Stéphane Debac Synopsis
In 1577, Pic Saint Loup, once the greatest couturier in France,
receives the commission of his career. King Henry III engages him
to create the most beautiful wedding dress for the marriage of one of
his nephews to the daughter of a Spanish nobleman. The problem is
that Saint Loup must travel to Spain, a staunchly Catholic country that
brutally oppresses free-thinkers, Jews, gays and non-Catholics – which
is unfortunate because these are exactly the kind of people that make
up the couturier’s entourage. Still, Saint Loup accepts the
commission, not realising that his secretary is a closet Protestant who
intends using the expedition to avenge the St Bartholomew Massacre...
