Que la fete commence 1975
Tavernier's second film, made during the period when the rewriting of history on film was the key issue in French cinema, never released in Britain but a hit in the US under the ironic title "Let Joy Reign Supreme".

"Que La Fete Commence" (Let the Party Begin) is a witty provocative, visually dazzling re-creation of French political and social life during the crucial last years of Philippe d'Orleans, regent for the young Louis XV, who was 5 years old at the death of his great-grandfather, Louis XIV. When the old Sun King died in 1715, France had been at the peak of its power and glory. Before the end of the century, though, it would be swept by the greatest, bloodiest revolution the world had yet seen. It is the idea of Mr. Tavernier and Jean Aurenche, the veteran French filmwriter who collaborated with the director on the screenplay, that some of the factors that made the revolution inevitable were more or less locked into place by events that took place during Philippe's regency.
