The journey begins as Casanova meets a new servant who will witness his last moments in life. From a Swiss castle with its gallant and libertine Eighteenth Century atmosphere, to his final days spent in poor and shadowy Northern lands. There, his rationalist way of thinking and frivolous and mundane world will succumb to a new, violent, occult and romantic force, represented by Dracula and his eternal power. <strong>Q&amp;A with filmmaker Albert Serra<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><em>35 mm, color, 148\u00a0min.

Back from hunting, Louis XIV \u2013 magisterially interpreted by New Wave icon and honorary Palme d\u2019Or recipient (Jean-Pierre L\u00e9aud) \u2013 feels pain in his leg. A serious fever erupts, which marks the beginning of the agony of the greatest King of France. Surrounded by a horde of doctors and his closest counselors who come in turns at his bedside sensing the impending power vacuum, the Sun King struggles to run the country from his bed. Based on extensive medical records and the memoirs of the Duke of Saint-Simon and other courtiers, THE DEATH OF LOUIS XIV is a wry neoclassical chamber drama, a work of pure magic by Albert Serra, one of today\u2019s most singular directors. <strong>Q&amp;A with filmmaker Albert Serra<\/strong><\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><em>DCP, color, 115\u00a0min.

What begins as an evening of strategizing on the proliferation of libertinage, descends into a Sadean night of pansexual one-upmanship. LIBERT\u00c9 is a singular cinematic experience only Albert Serra could deliver, a film in which increasingly dramatic acts of pain and pleasure unfold in counterpoint to cinematographer Artur Tort\u2019s luminous images of moonlit sylvan spaces. As Serra and his committed team of regular performers and newcomers \u201copen the gates of Hell\u201d and explore the limits of the erotic imagination, you won\u2019t be able to look away.<strong> Introduction by filmmaker Albert Serra<\/strong><\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><em>DCP, color, 138 min.
