Add a CommentA very good, and fairly realistic look at the last days the French Royal family was in power. Told from the point of view of loyal servant Sidonie, it deals with the days between the fall of the Bastille, and the King and Queen's forced relocation from Versailles. Some great shots shots of the beauty of Versailles, and the squalor behind the gilt. Plot elements might be confusing to some, so Wiki Marie Antoinette before watching this movie if you have no idea of the people and events surrounding her. French with subtitles.
This movie is fascinating for its realistic (as opposed to Hollywood) portrayal of life at Versailles in 1789. Some scenes are actually shot at the palace and we spend a fair amount of time in the servant's area. On the other hand, most of the characters are rather bland and the plot can be summed up by the word "confusion".
Saw the clock getting stolen from the beginning if you know what I mean. great costume and detailed sets.
It was interesting seeing court life from the viewpoint of a worker bee. It's a fascinating glimpse of the mundane and tedious life of those pushed and pulled to satisfy the whims of the spoiled and selfish few.
VERY BORING. HARD TO FOLLOW. SLEPT THRU SOME OF IT. COSTUMES WERE GOOD
An interesting look at a long ago period of time.
