Philip V Of France
Philip V (c. 1293 – 3 January 1322), known as the Tall (french: Philippe le Long), was King of France and Navarre (as Philip II) from 1316 to 1322. Philip was the second son of King Philip IV of France and Queen Joan I of Navarre. He was granted an appanage, the County of Poitiers, while his elder brother, Louis X, inherited the French and Navarrese thrones. When Louis died in 1316, he left a daughter and a pregnant wife, Clementia of Hungary. Philip the Tall successfully claimed the regency. Queen Clementia gave birth to a boy, who was proclaimed king as John I, but the infant king lived only for five days. At the death of his nephew, Philip immediately had himself crowned at Reims. However, his legitimacy was challenged by the party of Louis X's daughter Joan. Philip V successfully contested her claims for a number of reasons, including her youth, doubts regarding her paternity (her mother was involved in the Tour de Nesle Affair), and the Estates General's determination t ...

À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu (film)
''À la recherche du temps perdu'' is a 2011 television film by Nina Companéez, based on Marcel Proust's 1913–1927 seven-volume novel ''In Search of Lost Time''. The two-part film attempts to cover the entire novel with the exception of the first volume, ''Swann's Way''—the narrator's childhood and the story of Charles Swann are only briefly mentioned, the latter having already been previously adapted as '' Swann in Love'' (1984) by Volker Schlöndorff. Critical reception was mixed, with e.g. German newspaper ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' questioning the wisdom and feasibility of filming the novel in its entirety at all. The review in ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'' pointed out the staginess of the adaptation and found Micha Lescot's slightly tongue-in-cheek performance as the narrator somewhat lacking. ''Der Tagesspiegel'' on the other hand praised the adaptation, in particular for its visual opulence and Micha Lescot's acting. ''Le Figaro'' also lauded the telefilm both for ...
