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 splendor 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.

Guy Lodge Variety 08/16/2024
An impressively severe second feature by Italian director Gianluca Jodice, this is 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. Go to Full Review
