La Reine et le Cardinal is a 2009 French television film directed by Marc Rivière and starring Philippe Torreton, Alessandra Martines, Audrey Fleurot, Franck de la Personne, Rufus, Joséphine de Meaux and Marc Citti. It is based on events in the early years of the reign of Louis XIV of France. The drama of the rumored love affair between the child king's widowed mother, Anne of Austria, and her prime minister, Cardinal Mazarin, unfolds as intrigue and political discord ignite the Fronde.

Synopsis

À la mort de Richelieu, le cardinal Mazarin lui succède comme Principal Ministre à la demande du roi Louis XIII, qui lui demande également d’être le parrain du Dauphin. La reine, voyant en Mazarin le continuateur de la politique de Richelieu à laquelle elle s’opposait, finit par se laisser amadouer par sa diplomatie et ses bonnes manières. Lorsqu’elle devient régente après la mort du roi, elle le nomme Premier Ministre et le choisit comme principal conseiller au conseil de régence. Leur complicité grandit au-delà de la sphère politique et ils s’aiment clandestinement.

The 1939 adaptation alters history significantly by making Fouquet (Joseph Schildkraut) a thoroughly evil, scheming mastermind. He, Colbert (Walter Kingsford), d'Artagnan (Warren William) and the musketeers are the only ones who know of the existence of a twin brother, and Fouquet uses his influence to keep everyone silent. The main story was changed by portraying Louis XIV as selfish, cruel, and incompetent, and Philippe the kind-hearted brother who is raised by d'Artagnan and the musketeers and does not even know that he has an identical twin.

On the 10th anniversary of the assassination of the king, his reclusive widow, the Queen, arrives to spend the night at the castle of Krantz. Stanislas, a young anarchist poet who seeks to assassinate her, enters her room, wounded; he looks exactly like the dead king, and the Queen shelters him instead of handing him over to the police. She sees him as the welcome embodiment of her own death, calling him Azrael (the angel of death). An ambiguous love develops between them, uniting them in a bid to outwit the machinations of the court politicians, represented by the Comte de Foëhn, the chief of police, and Édith de Berg, the Queen's companion. In order to remain true to their ideals and to each other, the Queen and Stanislas have to play their parts in a bizarre private tragedy, which the world will never understand.
