Movie: Farewell, My Queen
Genre: historical drama
Synopsis: This is a French
movie with English subtitles. This movie
chronicles the final days of the French aristocracy at Versailles before the
mobs descended on it during the French Revolution. It is told from the perspective of Sidonie
Laborde (Léa Seydoux) who is the personal reader of Marie Antoinette (Diane
Kruger).
My two cents: An interesting
movie. It really brings home how the
utter arrogance and the debauchery of the French ruling class at Versailles is
exceeded only by the complete disregard and contempt most of them had for the
masses.
