Why watch this film?

The French Revolution is one of the most important moments in human history, something studied by all of us since school time. However, this movie proposes a different look on the beginning of this revolution, precisely that of a young employee of the court. A great portrait of how power became isolated from the people, which led to the end of the French monarchy.
