Beskrivelse
Summary:Marking the return of acclaimed director Benoît Jacquot (*A Single Girl*), FAREWELL, MY QUEEN 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, this film stars Léa Seydoux (*The Lobster*) as one of Marie's ladies-in-waiting, 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. Diane Kruger (*Inglourious Basterds*) gives her best performance to date as the ill-fated Queen. Nominated for Best Film at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Actress (Léa Seydoux), Best Director, and Best Film at the **César Awards**. *"... A layer cake of royal pleasures, rote protocols and revolutionary politics. For skeptics who thought this story had grown stale, let them eat their words." - Joe Williams, **St. Louis Post-Dispatch***
