"Tous les matins du monde sont sans retour"I highly recommend this 1991 film by Alain Corneau; Marin Marais (Gérard Depardieu), at the dusk of his life, remembers the life of his master, Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe (Jean-Pierre Marielle - simply mind-blowing).
Jordi Savall was the musical director for this film, and also played the viola da gamba. As a result, the soundtrack is a perfect complement to Corneau's dark and intimist atmosphere, and a true testament to this particular instrument.
A must-see.
[unfortunately for the non-French speakers, the DVD is only available in French - and without any subtitles]

YouTube extracts:
- Jordi Savall playing
- a piece perfectly illustrating the mood of this film
- Lully's Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs (Depardieu as Marin Marais conducting the orchestra)
