FAREWELL, MY QUEEN (1h 40min) by Benoit Jacquot,
starring Léa Seydoux, Diane Kruger, Virginie Ledoyen
A very beautiful film presented at the 2012 Berlinale
In 1789, on the brink of the Revolution, Versailles continues to live in carefree indifference, far from the turmoil brewing in Paris.
When news of the fall of the Bastille reaches the Court, the palace empties, and nobles and servants flee… But Sidonie Laborde, a young reader completely devoted to the Queen, refuses to believe the rumors she hears.
Farewell, My Queen is a novel by Chantal Thomas published on August 28, 2002, by Editions du Seuil. This novel received the Femina Prize the same year.
