Favorite Scenes
I simply never get enough of this film. It’s one of the few that I have to re-watch, every so often.

Now, one of the things that struck me most strongly was the fact of Vatel and Anne’s goodness — this, in spite of where Louis’ example might have led them — with the people who worked with them.

The scenes with Vatel and Colin; with Anne and Louise… especially the one where Louise drops the vase that Vatel sent to Anne (and Anne says “It’s alright, Louise… it’s alright”) … these are made almost painfully beautiful by the contrasting scenes with the aristocrats running amok.

But, Vatel’s words come back to me here: “Harmony and Contrast — All beauty comes from those two things”.

Depardieu is brilliant
Vatel, perhaps a weak title to a spectacular film; it recreates the excesses of the French court in its pre-off-with-their-heads-phase. In order to escape bankruptcy, the gout afflicted Viscount must entertain the King so sumptuously and so entreatingly, that the King may commission a war with Holland, thereby paying the Viscount’s debts. To keep the King and his courtiers entertained, it was no small thing, so the entire countryside is enlisted in the feasts and entertainment. None will be paid unless the banquets are a success. Louis’ entourage of Queen, mistresses, and waggish cavaliers run riot through the festivities. The fete is essentially an Olympic opening parade that goes on for three days in dazzling costume orchestrated by one great artist, the Viscount’s steward, Vatel.

Vatel orchestrates the extravaganzas and falls for Uma Thurman, the King’s new mistress. She is not yet the jaded courtesan and sees greatness in Vatel’s can-do veneer. Indeed, Vatel is a man of integrity, denying the King’s pedophile brother a young kitchen boy at the risk of his life. Vatel swats away meddling noblemen and women for the entire feast while making love to Thurman, star-crossed lovers though they are. Gerard Depardieu is brilliant even with his modest grasp of English.
