Details: Farewell, My Queen marks the return of acclaimed director Benoît Jacquot and brilliantly captures the passions, debauchery, occasional glimpses of nobility and ultimately the chaos that engulfed the court of Marie Antoinette in the final days before the full-scale outbreak of the Revolution . Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, the film stars Léa Seydoux as one of Marie'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 . With the action moving effortlessly from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobles to the back quarters of those who serve them, this is a period film at once accurate and sumptuous in its visual details and modern in its emotions.-----En 1789 , at the dawn of the Revolution, Versailles continues to live in carelessness and casualness, far from the tumult that thunders in Paris. When the news of the storming of the Bastille reaches the Court, the castle empties, nobles and servants flee... But Sidonie Laborde, a young reader entirely devoted to the Queen, does not want to believe the rumors she hears. Protected by Marie-Antoinette, nothing can happen to her. She does not know that these are the last three days that she lives by his side.
