French Musicals with English subtitles

I collected some Proshots of French musicals that I found English subtitles for. None of the subtitles are mine, the creators are credited in the .txt files that contain some general information.

(I made several folders because I ain't paying Mega anything)

Roméo et Juliette 2010 Revival subtitles (New and improved)

The hardest part of this whole thing was figuring out how the hell I was going to edit the file. I obviously figured it out eventually.

At around 1:05 of this video (the NDDP RAI proshot – not the same recording as the Arena di Verona proshot), Matteo Setti as Gringoire DOES A CARTWHEEL across the stage

A WHOLE CARTWHEEL

Around 2009 it seems he just went around doing cartwheels (all those are audience-shot videos of varying quality). What a flex, honestly!

My Youtube rabbit hole didn’t turn up any other Gringoires, Italian or otherwise, who did cartwheels, but maybe they did and it just wasn’t recorded. When I saw Gian Marco Schiaretti as Gringoire in Montreal (August 17 2022, likely his last show as Gringoire before leaving for Moulin Rouge) I swear he also did a cartwheel across the stage during the same dance break. This was truly the MOST ASTONISHING thing to see live and I am still not over it!! (I’m still looking for video proof though, and that’s where I found the Matteo Setti cartwheels)

Matteo Setti (and the rest of the original Italian cast!) is back in the Italian production now, but considering it’s been 10+ years, I doubt he’ll be doing any more cartwheels now. But you never know…

MEN OF FRENCH MUSICALS : EMMANUEL MOIRE 

Louis XIV (Le Roi Soleil)

You know how fantasy worlds are almost always based on (mostly Central and Northern) European Medieval aesthetic and folklore?

For a while I’ve been thinking that if we had a fantasy world made here, it would be interesting to have it be inspired by Modernisme (the Catalan artistic movement from the late 19th century - early 20th century). I mean, look at this and tell me it doesn’t have potential:

Interior of the Sagrada Família basilica, Barcelona. The stained glass in different sides of the temple are different colours, so the light changes colour depending on the hour of the day. (Photo sources x x)

Illa de la Discòrdia, Barcelona. x

Benches in Parc Güell (Barcelona), made with the “trencadís”, the typical mosaic used in many of Antoni Gaudí’s works (he’s one of the most famous Modernist architects, and one of the most famous Catalan architects of all times too). x

A hall in Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona. x

Ceiling of Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall in Barcelona.

Lots of these things. This one is in Argentona (Catalonia, too). x

And fashion would be like this:

Stained glass in Cerdanyola, Catalonia. x

Illustrations by Gaspar Camps.

More stained glass, now in Museu del Modernisme, Barcelona. x

Modernist jewels by Lluís Masriera (I’ve talked about Modernist jewels in this previous post). x

Even the furniture:

x

Interior of Casa Amatller in Barcelona. x.

Even in wood looked pretty.

x

And lots of cool windows inspired by nature!

And from outside

Olot, Catalonia. x.

And of course all kinds of windows. Light is important!

Torre Bellesguard. x.

Barcelona. x.

This ceiling in Palau Güell with holes to let light in. x.

And this lamp?? Also in Palau Güell. x.

Everything would have to be very curvy.

Casa Milà, Barcelona. x.

And shops

This bakery in Palma, Mallorca. x.

And I won’t begin with the tiles to not make the post longer…

What do you think?

And for people from other countries, what element in your culture do you think a fantasy world could be based on, aesthetically?
