Bon week~end!
Hello Lovlies, I hope you are all having a most beautiful
weekend. I was just catching up on some reading and I ran
across an article about the new Benoît Jacquot film about
Marie Antoinette.
Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, Farewell
My Queen stars Léa Seydoux {Midnight in Paris} as one of
Marie’s ladies-in-waiting and Diane Kruger as Marie
Antoinette {Diane, by the way, is German, was born on July
15th and her mother's name is Maria-Theresa}.

The story begins just in the days before the Revolution. To be
exact the first four days of the French Revolution in July 1789.
It is told from her servants perspective and seems to be a big
departure from Sofia's modernized {but glorious} version.

While some scenes explore Marie Antoinette's rumored affair
with Gabrielle De Polignac, the movie is lavish and full of eye
candy.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
I think I need to read the book, then see the movie. Thanks for the head's up on this. xx's

I love to see MA movie's done from different points of view. Is this one french? I have seen them where she was sadly misunderstood, and I have seen them where I hated her too! Too bad some good blog PR might have saved her!
