Ridicule
Dear students, faculty, and staff,
The International House staff is happy to announce the third film of the semester showing on next Thursday night, September 25th at 7:00p.m. in Lindsay Young Auditorium at Hodges Library. The title of the film is "Ridicule". This film was nominated at Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Below please see the plot synthesis from Rotten Tomatoes.
During the pre-revolutionary reign of Louis XVI, a young engineer travels to Versailles to petition the king to help him save the people of his region from a mosquito infestation. Upon his arrival, the naive country squire discovers lust in the form of a widowed countess, love in the form of his host's beautiful daughter, ultimate power in the form of wit, and the ultimate weapon in the form of ridicule.
