Hungarian Summary:

1671 - François Vatel (Gérard Depardieu), a büszke, de megöregedett és anyagilag tönkrement Condé herceg (Julian Glover) hűséges inasa. A hercegnek szüksége van XIV. Lajos király (Julian Sands) kegyére, és abban reménykedik, hogy a hollandok elleni új hadjáratban az uralkodó kinevezi a hadsereg vezérévé. Condé csak a királyt ismeri el maga fölött, s úgy dönt, az udvarral együtt meghívja vendégségbe. Vatelre vár a feladat, hogy Chantilly kastélyát a fogadásra alkalmassá tegye és megszervezze a háromnapos ünnepséget, amelynek éjjel-nappal káprázatosnak kell lennie. A feladat sikeres végrehajtása érdekében Vatel befogja az egész szolgahadat, férfiakat és nőket, fiatalokat és idősebbeket, akik mind azon munkálkodnak, hogy a király elégedett legyen. Megtervezi az ünnepséget, összeállítja az ételsort, s olyan látványosságokról gondoskodik, amik elragadtatást váltanak ki a királyból. A nyüzsgés kellős közepén Vatelt elcsábítja Anne de Montausier, a királyné kegyence, aki után a király is epekedik. 

 

English Summary:

Vatel is a 2000 historical drama film directed by Roland Joffé, written by Jeanne Labrune and translated by Tom Stoppard, and starring Gérard Depardieu, Uma Thurman, Tim Roth, Timothy Spall, Julian Glover and Julian Sands. The film, based on the life of 17th-century French chef François Vatel, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction. The film opened the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.

The story takes place in 1671. In the context of the Franco-Dutch War, a financially struggling Louis, Grand Condé is visited by King Louis XIV for three days of festivities at the Château de Chantilly. The Prince wants a commission as a general, and spares no expense in order to impress the king. In charge of organizing the event is François Vatel, Master of Festivities and Pleasures in the prince's household. Vatel is a man of great honor and talent, but of low birth. As the great Condé is prepared to do anything in his quest for stature, the tasks assigned to Vatel are often menial and dishonourable. While Vatel tries to sustain dignity amidst the extravaganza he is meant to orchestrate, he finds himself in love with Anne de Montausier, the king's latest lover, who returns his affections. However, due to their incompatible social standing and the rigid hierarchy of the court, continuing the liaison is clearly impossible.
