Sophie Marceau as the Marquise-Teresa de Gorla
During his career, Sophie Marceau he participated in several costume films. In the 1990s it was especially shackled D’Artagnan’s daughter (1994), Anna Carenina (1997) e Marchioness (1997). In the latter, the actress plays Marchioness Teresa of Gorla (1633-1668)who was part of Molière’s company between 1653 and 1667. In this film we discover her as a dancer, occasionally forced into prostitution. His life changes when Molière, played by Bernard Giraudeaufix your eyes on her.
The famous playwright will trust him and hire him into his company. Unfortunately, during her first performance, Marchesa is unable to speak her lines. After this failure he will have to settle for dancing during the performances. Until the day Racine (Lambert Wilson) falls in love with the young woman and writes the play Andromaque for her.
Directed by Vera Belmont, Marchioness he dives into this seventeenth century with all he has of exuberance and vulgarity. This is demonstrated by some scenes in the king’s court where women’s bodies are objects of amusement. With the character of the Marchioness, the filmmaker shows this woman coveted by all and often used for her physique. The feminist approach is evident on the part of Véra Belmont, who has benefited from ita high budget to reproduce the era. The equivalent today of around 11 million euros, which was not profitable at the time of the film’s release.
One hell of a shootout
With only 489,000 registrations in France (via JP Box Office) and estimated revenues of $2.6 million worldwide, Marchioness it was a failure. And this, despite the meeting of some faces The boom (1980). In fact, Bernard Giraudeau found Sophie Marceau again after playing her German teacher. While Lamber Wilson played Felix The Boom 2 (1982). For Marchionessthe feature was not helped by Sophie Marceau who, upon release, he refused to support the film. He explained to Parisian (broadcast by Public) while talking about the hell of filming.
This shoot was hell. I have one of the worst memories of my life. I absolutely didn’t get along with Véra Belmont (…) Honestly, I don’t want to defend the film.
The relationship between the actress and director was reportedly complicated during production. Sophie Marceau is not convinced scenic choices by Vera Belmont. The latter subsequently gave her version to the microphone of FranceInter :
One day he loves me, the next day he hates me. I think she doesn’t like being led by a woman. He saw the Marchioness as much more lower-middle-class than I imagined. She’s the type of actress that when you disturb her in what she decided to do on set, she hates you.
