Bertrand Tavernier's (Life And Nothing But) Let Joy Reign Supreme, is a "rich, ambitious" (Newsweek), extraordinarily detailed and character-dense look at French monarchy, diplomacy and debauchery on the threshold of bloody insurrection. Tavernier's favorite leading man Philippe Noiret (Life And Nothing But, Cinema Paradiso) plays the infamous Philippe d'Oreleans, uncrowned king of a nation divided by appalling poverty and riddled with greed and conspiracy.
In the year 1720, Philippe d'Oreleans rules France as regent to the lat Louis XIV's pre-teen heir. Socially liberal but financially reckless, Philippe stokes his treasury with profits from France
