In “Vatel,” directed by Roland Joffé, the story unfolds in 17th-century France, where the master steward François Vatel is tasked with organizing a lavish three-day feast for King Louis XIV at the Château de Chantilly. As Vatel navigates the pressures of pleasing the court and maintaining his honor, the film explores themes of class, loyalty, and the ephemeral nature of glory.
