Overview

In the 18th century, English aristocrats had, among their better known strange customs, one really strange one: they kept "ornamental hermits" for their gardens. These were actual people who were willing to live in squalid conditions and serve as something like museum exhibits for the amusement of the wealthy. This movie takes that notion and transfers it to 18th century France. In the story, an English hermit Rupert Everett) has somehow been brought to France in the period following the French Revolution, and prior to the Napoleonic Era, a period (1795-1799) known as "The Directory." He eventually comes down out of his tree into a chateau owned by an Italian nobleman (Ugo Tognazzi) and his wife. Before long, the hermit has washed and bathed and become quite presentable, even charming. However, his appearance in their midst is like a sentence of death for many of those who associate with him.

Overview

Au XVIIIe siècle, les aristocrates anglais avaient, parmi leurs coutumes étranges les plus connues, une vraiment étrange: ils gardaient des «ermites ornementaux» pour leurs jardins. C'étaient de vraies personnes qui étaient prêtes à vivre dans des conditions sordides et à servir de quelque chose comme des expositions de musée pour le divertissement des riches. Ce film reprend cette notion et la transfère en France du 18ème siècle. Dans l'histoire, un ermite anglais Rupert Everett) a été en quelque sorte amené en France dans la période qui a suivi la Révolution française et avant l'ère napoléonienne, une période (1795-1799) connue sous le nom de «Le Directoire». Il finit par descendre de son arbre dans un château appartenant à un noble italien (Ugo Tognazzi) et à sa femme. En peu de temps, l'ermite s'est lavé et baigné et est devenu tout à fait présentable, voire charmant. Cependant, son apparition parmi eux est comme une condamnation à mort pour beaucoup de ceux qui s'associent à lui.
