Synopsis:

Like 'Dangerous Liaisons', this heavily powdered and rouged period piece is set in the most excessive days of Louis XV1's reign, when an ability to engage in witty and insulting exchanges with members of the Court proves to be the only way that poor rural aristocrat (Berling) can gain an audience with the King.
