1792. The official Parisian residence of the king, the Tuileries Palace, has been stormed. Louis, Marie Antoinette and their children have been arrested and confined in the Tour du Temple, a mediaeval chateau in the city centre. Far from the splendour of Versailles, where the family and their retinue had lived until only a few years earlier, they are vulnerable for the first time in their lives. While the King naively tries to keep spirits high and manners intact, his pragmatic and imperious wife is far more realistic about their predicament, and the destiny that likely awaits them…
"Impressive. Revisits a chapter of history with a de-frilled austerity that feels decidedly new, a brisk rejoinder to past
cinematic portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette that have rendered even their downfall in the most lavish way possible. Laurent is
extraordinary."
