Our suggestions
Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, Léa Seydoux stars as one of Marie Antoinette’s ladies-in-waiting, seemingly an innocent but quietly working her way into her mistress’s special favors, until history tosses her fate onto a decidedly different path.
"The French Revolution is one of the most important moments in human history, something studied by all of us since school time. However, this movie proposes a different look on the beginning of this revolution, precisely that of a young employee of the court. A great portrait of how power became isolated from the people, which led to the end of the French monarchy."
