About Le Cardinal d'Espagne
This play by Henry de Montherland, takes place in 1517 and depicts the Cardinal de Cisneros, an authoritarian man approaching his end, regent of the throne of Spain oscillating between his desire for power and his tendency to inaction. Thinking himself invulnerable, he awaits the arrival of young Charles on the throne, but his beliefs will be shaken.
Directed by Jean Vernier, Le Cardinal d'Espagne leans on a strong ensemble — Danièle Ajoret, Jean-Claude Arnaud, René Arrieu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1964.
