(2012) dir Benoit Jacquot w/Diane Kruger, Léa Seydoux, Virginie Ledoyen [100 min] “Benoît Jacquot’s tense, absorbing, pleasurably original look at three days in the life and lies of a doomed monarch [Marie Antoinette]… FAREWELL, MY QUEEN has none of the mustiness or preciosity that can turn costume dramas into waxworks. Mr. Jacquot shot much of it at Versailles, which deepens the period verisimilitude, yet while the gilded rooms and satin clothes look sumptuous… the people in them breathe.” – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
