1792. Louis XVI, his wife Marie Antoinette, and their children have been arrested and imprisoned in the Tour de Temple, a sinister chateau in Paris, awaiting their trial. Far from the splendour of Versailles, they are isolated and vulnerable for the first time in their lives. A fascinating, never-before told period story from which our modern world was born.
Reviews
Beautiful, moving film.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
