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.

Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter Just because Louis and Marie-Antoinette ignored the will of the people until it came back to bite them big time, it doesn’t mean the director had to do so as well, and Jodice seems too enamored with his subjects to see the bigger picture. Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 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.
