Tous les matins du monde is a 1991 French film based on the book of the same name.
In the same year as the book's release, Pascal Quignard, together with director Alain Corneau, adapted the novel to the film that starred Jean-Pierre Marielle and Gérard Depardieu. The film is currently distributed by Koch-Lorber Films.
It stars Gérard Depardieu as he revisits the life of his character, a late-17th-century composer named Marin Marais. Narrated by Marais, the story revolves around his life as a musician, his mentor Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, and his love interests. The haunting sound of his instrument, the viol (viola da gamba), here played by Jordi Savall, is heard throughout the movie and plays a major role in setting the mood. Though fictional, the story is based on historical characters.
