All the Mornings of the World

(Tous les matins du monde, Alain Corneau, France 1991, 116 min., 35mm, French w/subtitles)

Special Presentation. In 17th-century France, the lives of a reclusive composer and his daughters are altered by a passionate young musician hoping to learn from a master. “Though the film is strikingly directed by Alain Corneau, who draws superb performances, it’s the music—hauntingly played by Jordi Savall— that gives wings to this rueful tale of art, love and loss.” – Rolling Stone

Prior to the screening, Pegasus Early Music will present live excerpts from their concert The Sun King (February 14 at Downtown United Presbyterian Church), including music by Marin Marais, Lully, and other composers and musicians in the film. Flute, violin, viola da gamba, lute, and soprano Laura Heimes will transport you to the time of Louis XIV and set the musical stage for this special viewing.
