Thus begins Merivel’s journey to self-knowledge, which will take him down into the lowest depths of seventeenth-century society. But when he’s called on to serve the king in an unusual role, he transgresses the one law that he is forbidden to break and is brutally cast out from his newfound paradise. 'Restoration' is based on a 1989 novel by Rose Tremain, unread by me, but my guess is she covers as much ground as the movie does, since her story is titled 'Restoration' and not 'Merivel.' What the film evokes is an age that must have been supremely interesting to live in.

Merivel slips easily into a life of luxury and idleness, enthusiastically enjoying the women and wine of the vibrant Restoration age.
