The Flood

The Last Days of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette
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 splendour 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. Freely inspired by the notebooks of Cléry, the King's valet who remained with him until his death.
Gianluca Jodice’s The Flood brings the story of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to the big screen in a way quite unlike anything we have seen before. Instead of lavish parties, royal decadence and the splendour of Versailles, we are given a glimpse into a shadowy world where these deposed monarchs are stripped of their power and stature as they await their now famous fate. French stars Guillame Canet (La Belle Époque) and Mélanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds) give blistering performances as the doomed royals, who, isolated and vulnerable for the first time in their privileged lives, have been arrested and imprisoned in the Tour de Temple, a sinister chateau in Paris. Laurent, chipping away at the infamous queen’s veneer of propriety, reveals a quiet vulnerability and growing horror as to what lies ahead.

Media reception

Variety
“Laurent is extraordinary as a queen who remains stubbornly imperious even with nothing left to lord over.”
Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace
★★★★ „Une fable amère, dont la leçon est tristement ironique: apprendre à vivre à la veille de mourir."
