“Laurent is extraordinary as a queen who remains stubbornly imperious even with nothing left to lord over.” – Variety
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.
