The pioneering documentary directed by anthropologist and director Jean Rouch and sociologist Edgar Morin, Chronicle of a Summer, is one of the first examples of the cinéma vérité movement. The film begins with Rouch and Morin discussing whether people can behave sincerely in front of the camera. Throughout the documentary, the directors examine social issues with actual participants, who are then shown the footage to comment on how realistic their self-portraits are.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
