...that pic of FW in a blond curly wig reminds me of one of the pics one of you showed me of young!Fritz. I don't remember which one, but that is sort of interesting to me. (Although I guess Fritz was supposed to resemble his mom's family more.)
Gundling's first return after his first escape attempt. FW has just told him he gets another title, Gundling says "Ihr erhöht mich, um mich zu erniedrigen".
Man, that little smile of FW's. *shiver*
Remember, FW fired the court musicians except for orchestra leader Pepusch, then told him to train some Potsdam Giants to play. This is the result, and they're even playing Händel!
LOL!
Oh wow, that wig and that getup. And, again, FW's face...
Okay, I know the tobacco parliament not being amused is going to end (really) badly, but the screencap is hilarious
I've referred to it in a previous comment, but omg Fassmann's face!

Well, it's the same type of wig as painted by Pesne. And presumably the makeup people had a look at more than just FW portraits for their inspiration.
re: the get up - Sabrow in his biography points out that it's a parody of the Louis XIV style ceremonial robes born out of FW's dislike and hate for all the pomp and circumstances of the German courtes modelling themselves on the French court.
The facial expressions are so great. Everyone is really superb in this film. If you want to try out your German, check it out.
