Jeanne Vaubernier was the illegitimate child of a monk and a cook,
She was destined for a life in the anonymity of the masses,,,
the plebs, the common people,
So she was a girl of low origin,
But aren't they prepared to do anything?
Her mother, Anne, raised her alone,
She was employed by Mr, Dumousseaux,,,
a merciful and kind man,
Out of affection, he took the child under his wing,
He quenched her thirst for knowledge,,,
and refined her manners by admitting her to his salon,
Intelligence,
Concept,
Reflection,
Idea,
Rode,
Mind,
Judgement,
Understanding,
Comprehension,
Astuteness,
Thanks to Dumousseaux, who covered the costs,,,
Jeanne went to the Sainte-Aure monastery,
No doubt he wanted to save her,,,
for a life full of fornication that folk girls often led,
Come,
Jeanne grew up,
Monastery life became too oppressive for her,
But books broadened her horizons,,,
and she soon discovered the disturbing influence of eroticism,
Jeanne,
Satan's child,
I will teach you to read those books,
Lower your eyes,
Yes?
Away from the convent, Jeanne was no longer a child,
Fearing that her husband would not be able to resist temptation,,,
Madame Dumousseaux chased away Jeanne and her mother,,,
for a theft she did not commit,
But what good is innocence,,,
when others harbor guilty desires for you?
The two young women go to Paris,,,
the capital of all hopes and all dangers,
How long will this last?
Take your clothes off, -No,
Jeanne, please,,,
take your clothes off,
You always do it differently,
It's my body, -Maybe you should leave,
Excuse me?
Go for a walk in the garden, That's beautiful,
Shortly after,,,
Jeanne became a reader for Madame de La Garde,,,
a widow with two sons,
She introduced literature to Jeanne,,,
and Jeanne soon rivaled in sagacity the flower of nobility,
Unashamed,
Unabashed,
Cheeky,
Anyone?
Bold,
Daring,
Nice, -Rude, Jeanne?
Naughty,
After everything I've done for you, you're going to sleep with my sons?
Out, slut,
Shame, you should be ashamed,
Thanks to libertinism,,,
Jeanne discovered how to become a woman and still remain free,
Years passed,
Jeanne learned to use her charms to seduce increasingly wealthy lovers,,,
and quickly made her mark as a courtesan,
And then here in a cloud of pink satin, Adélaïde,
Under that black silk crepe,,,
a white corset,,,
of an angelic softness,
Girlish,
Du Barry, -My dear, how are you?
Excellent, -Monsieur du Barry,
Monsieur du Barry, -Mademoiselle,
What a pleasure, -The pleasure is mine,
How are you?
Excellent, Tasty?
Jeanne,
Jean,
An angel from heaven,
Madame Labille told me about you and she didn't lie,
Where were you all this time?
I've been waiting for you,
You are not afraid of anything,
I'm already making you laugh,
You do not believe me? -No,
What can I do to convince you?
I can offer you a home, -My mother is in charge of the contracts,
I have nothing against your mother, but here,,,
my life is at stake,
Mine too, -Then let's share our lives,
So? -Agree,
Nice, I like that, -Agreed to meet,
Du Barry, despite all the respect I have for you,,,
I appreciate you, Count, As a duke,
That is mutual,
I'm listening,
As you know,,,
we send women to the king, -Yes,
Not one ever caught his attention,
Indeed, -But now,,,
the king must meet Jeanne,
Just as if it were a coincidence,
So you're betting on chance, -Exactly, by chance,
He will think he chose her himself,
You already have her there,
Where were you, honey? I was waiting for you,
I helped Adolphe with his essay, -I have people for that,
Some things you can't buy, Du Barry,
Du Barry? -Yes,
Who's there tonight? -As always, writers, poets,,,
Marshal de Richelieu,,,
Come, I need you,
There are also first-class courtesans, Mademoiselle Legrand and,,,
Countess de La Rena,
Couldn't resist? -You have lovers too,
Yes, but they contribute to the costs and your mistresses do not,
That was not the agreement,
You could perhaps be more discreet,
Richelieu wants to introduce you to the king,
You only talk about the king, -You're free to go, right?
I'll stay for your son,
Jeanne, my love,
I love you,
Maybe not the way you would like, but still,
This is not love, -Oh no? What is it?
Then say it, Mrs Weetal,
I may not know what love is, but I know that this isn't it,
Good evening, -Good evening,
The Apple of my eye,
Adolphe,
Delicious wine,
Very tasty, -Good evening, gentlemen,
Epiphany Cake,
That's your favorite cake, right?
What is?
There's something in my mouth,
Not to be funny, but that's often the case,
Very refined, -A mouthful,
The king has a nice face,
Are you still in the bath?
You told me to rest,
Yes, you are right,
Resting is important,
You would keep me informed of your liaisons, wouldn't you?
I am talking to you,
Why are you always with your nose in the books?
Are you resting like this? Come on, get some rest, Above all, keep rest,
You are and will always be a stupid whore,
You're the only one I want to see in the morning,
I'll see the rest in the afternoon,
Be careful, a good lie is like a declaration of love,
Isn't it time to change your life? -Where do I have to go?
And with who?
I can't abandon his son, Adolphe,
Jean wants me to introduce you to the king,
Yes, he talks about it day and night,
Jeanne, what kind of life do you want?
A life full of curiosity,,,
in which we take the time to live, drink, eat, write, read,
People like me never have time for anything,
My mother is a cook,
So either I live a life like them,,,
or a life full of liaisons,
Then I prefer the latter,
Turn around,
The king,
For my brother on death row,
Sire,
'The definition of a,,,' -,,, feudal lord, Point,
Sorry, 'liege lord,'
"And the feudal lord,"
Madam?
Monsieur,
His Majesty wishes to see Madame,
Very good, When?
Now, If it suits Madame,
Give her an hour, -I'm ready,
What do you mean?
I'm ready,
No, you can't go like that, Get changed, at least do your hair,
Anne, you say something, -He's right, get changed,
Be as graceful as ever,
You can do it,
Do not be afraid, -I'm not that,
What is that? -This is common, No one is allowed to see you,
Jeanne,
When are you coming back? -Very quick,
Have you had many partners? -What's a lot?
More than one?
One at a time, yes,
Generally,
Do you experience any discomfort in the uterus?
What does he mean? -If you have itching,
No,
Every day I lubricate my,,,
love cavity with precious oils,
No burning sensation during micturition?
When urinating,
No,
I'm afraid I must examine you more thoroughly,
Please, -Naturally,
Spread your legs,
A little bit further,
Madame is worthy of the royal bed, -Good,
Sir,,,
I would quarantine her for a few days,,,
if a venereal disease appears, -Thanks, but we'll leave it at that,
And now? Would you like to take a taste first?
Everyone says you do,
I must now teach you some customs,
Good,
Do you always talk like that? -Like what?
With that haughty attitude, -This is Versailles, madam,
I can't speak to the king like that,
I don't think the king wants to hear you speak,
All right, teach me all about the mores of Versailles,
May I see how you intend to bow to the king tonight?
Arms higher,
Perfect,
Should I touch him first? -Let him guide you,
But,,,
Is he difficult to please? -No, he's fiery,
You don't need a thousand tricks to excite his senses,
But,,,
should I say something special?
Your impetuosity will speak for you,
The only thing you need to remember,,,
is that you never turn your back on the king,
If the king stands before you and you want to turn away,,,
you need to do the following,,,
Is this a joke?
Absolutely not,
No one should turn their back on the king,,,
except the Dauphin,
Understood? -Yes,
But,,,
what if I don't take those steps?
His Majesty will think you rude,
And? -He is very sensitive to charm,
Me, too,
What's so funny, madam?
I have to laugh because you look exactly like a six-franc piece,
I am honored, Your Majesty,
Champagne?
May I?
Yes,
My God,
Tasty?
No,
Is this solid gold? -Yes,
Is your name engraved on every fork and spoon?
I think so,
So you are mainly interested in gold?
Look behind you, Over there,
The statue,
Yes, Is that also made of gold?
Excuse me, Your Majesty,
Sorry, but I can't do it,
What not?
Those little steps back, I'm sorry, I can't,
What is your zodiac sign? -Don't know,
I don't believe in astrology, Your Majesty,
Your Majesty,
So will you give me permission?
for what? -To not take those steps,
Thank you, Your Majesty,
That's you,
As a child?
Please, can you let your hair down?
Yes, Your Majesty,
Madam?
Would you please get dressed?
Immediately,
I have to put on my dress,
Follow me,
Slightly forward,
Wait here,
Sire, It's time,
Your Majesty, your first doctor,
Your Majesty, the first visitors,
The Royal family,
Your Majesty, the Grand Officers,
Majesty,,,
your toilet,
Majesty,,,
the wig makers,
Ladies and gentlemen, the audience is over,
The royal family is allowed to leave,
The Dauphin,
The same routine every day? -Yes,
The same people saying the same things? -Yes,
Eyes closed,
Open them,
Can I open it?
I would like you to stay here in Versailles,
You too?
Naturally,
See you soon, -Yes,
Excuse me,
Who are those people with the king?
The one with a belly next to the king,,,
is Choiseul, the prime minister,
He radiates malice,
Does he really want to get his sister into bed with the king?
No idea,
You know that,
The Dauphin,
He is so handsome,
And all those women there?
The king's daughters, Adélaïde, Sophie, Victoire,,,
and the one with the hunchback is Louise, The king's favorite,
Her nickname is 'The Last',
Bring me some bacon, -Bacon,
This? -No, bacon,
I have rarely seen such ugly women,
Do we never see the queen?
She is discreet,
Because she suffers from her husband's infidelity,
Like all queens of France,
The king admires her discretion, her humility, her gentleness,
All of France knows it,
He deceives her in the palace and in the Parc-aux-Cerfs,
The queen cares more about her children, the faith,
She doesn't like luxury,,,
or people who,,,
poor money management,
Your hood, quick, Lean back,
We better go, Coachman,
The queen, Maria Leszczyńska, died after a quiet and unremarkable reign of 43 years,
Now the way was clear for Jeanne,
But grief and decency kept her outside Versailles in a secret apartment,
Sire, your daughters, They know you're here,
The dress,
Come,
Hello, my daughters,
Father,,,
there is a shameful rumor going around Versailles,
As usual,
Father, they say you spend all your nights with a,,,
My dear daughters,,,
it happens sometimes,,,
that your father is seeing a girlfriend, That's true,
But she's married,,,
and has a son, -That person has no title,
She's not married at all and that son isn't even hers,
She is ignorant, -I tend to disagree,
We are the rise of Versailles because of your debauchery,
Father, our mother just passed away, We just ask for a little respect,
This interrogation is over, -Father?
I can't tolerate,,,
that you make her your favorite while we are in mourning,
We neither,
Sire, Choiseul just found out Jeanne's parentage,
He will not allow a girl from the gutter to be your entourage,
That young woman is my entourage,
Yes, Sire,
I want to be by her side,,,
when the sun rises,,,
and when it sets,
No more, -Yes,
So you know what to do,
Fast,
Yes, Sire,
To be officially admitted to court,,,
Jeanne needed a husband or title,
Jean du Barry agreed to a marriage,,,
for a significant sum of money,
Count du Barry,,,
take you to be your wife Jeanne Bernier,,, -Vaubernier,
,,,Jeanne Vaubernier, here before me, -Yes,
Mademoiselle Jeanne Vaubernier, take you as your husband,,,
Jean du Barry, here for me,
Yes,
I now pronounce you husband and wife,
Adolphe, the rings,
No kiss from the bride?
And so Jeanne became Countess du Barry,
Grand Canal, Petit Canal,,,
Trianon, forest, flower garden, French garden,,,
l'Orangerie and the palace, 600 water jets, 200,000 trees,
Bravo,
Who lives at the court?
Servants, officers, courtiers, royal family,
What time does His Majesty walk through the hall of mirrors to the chapel?
At 6 pm, -No,
That was the first time you saw him, remember?
And he me,
Indeed,
I'd say a quarter to ten,
Good guess,
Because mass is at 10 o'clock, -Precisely,
The rest of the day,,,
11 a,m,: Council of Ministers, 1 p,m,: Lunch,,,
in his room,,,
with someone from his family or alone,
And he spends the afternoon hunting,,,
or an afternoon nap,
Dinner? -Dinner is at 6:00 PM,
Unless there is a performance at the opera,
And when the courtiers are invited to show off,,,
they may only take small portions after the taster has tasted,,,
of the king's 40 dishes, -Yes,
Who eats standing and who sits?
Dukes and Duchesses sit, Earls and Countesses stand,
You're progressing well, -So they watch me eat?
Even standing is a privilege for a courtier,
We now go through the three bows of saying goodbye,
This is the most important,
You will be assessed strictly during the introduction,
I am the king, Look at me,
Not in the eyes, Above all, never look the king in the eyes,
Good,
What did I just say?
Lower your eyes, -Or else?
Or else the court will see that as arrogance,
Pride,
Or just as an invitation,
An invitation? -Yes,
Until?
Just,,,
an invitation,
For what? -An invitation to,,,
You understand,
No, -Yes,
For? -Intimacy,
You make me laugh,
Can I show this feeling? -One never shows one's feelings at court,
We go on,
Imagine this is the train of your dress,
Step back to the door,
You walked on it,
Come forward, I am the King of France,
The whole court is watching you,
Is there news? -No idea,
She'll be here soon,
The king is impatient, -Beautiful women always take a long time,
Your Majesty, may I have your permission to summon the Countess du Barry?
Agree,
Countess Jeanne du Barry,
Finally,
What audacity,
What is she thinking? -Shame,
Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down for the gift presented by His Majesty,,,
to Countess du Barry,
A gift?
My days and nights have little rest and many worries
I'm dying of longing My heart is on fire
I am in love, but heaven sees no happier lover
My God,
Thank you,
What's your name? -Zamor,
How exotic,
Welcome, -Thank you,
Do not be afraid, That's not necessary,
Welcome, Zamor, -Thank you,
Bow to the king, A curtsy,
Look,
The shame,
Madame, your quarters,
This is your home,
Let me introduce you: hair, make-up, lackeys,,,
intendant, chambermaids,
Go ahead,
No no, What are you doing now?
Backed by the king,,,
Jeanne imposed her preference for simplicity and the arts on Versailles,
Artists and poets benefited from this,
She knew the Dauphin was being married off,,,
and that, somewhere in Austria,,,
an eleven-year-old named Marie-Antoinette was waiting to be introduced to him,
Fortunately for her, Jeanne was now first lady at court,
But for how long?
The king could choose another girl in the Parc-aux-Cerfs,,,
and dismiss Jeanne for the slightest misstep,
Beautiful,
What a divine mystery,
Is something wrong, madam?
Only the stars interest you, Your Majesty,
I like you so much when you're angry,
Wrong, You always like me,
That's true,
I love you, madam,
No, Your Majesty, you do not love me,
It turns you on that you don't know me, -But I do know you,
She is dressed like a man,
I hope you never forget who your friend is,
I'm not the queen, -Not yet,
On her first official outing,,,
Jeanne appeared triumphantly arm in arm with the king,
For the first time at the French court,,,
a woman broke the habit of crinolines and powdered wigs,,,
and dressed as a man,
You have achieved the rank you sought, yet I have no confidence in it,
What if the king gets tired of you? -Far from it,
Don't be so proud, Pride can destroy you,,,
But Jeanne, the Parc-aux-Cerfs,
I know, He doesn't go there anymore,
It still exists, That says enough, -No, it doesn't mean anything,
De Pompadour had it built to satisfy his lust,
With you he doesn't need that anymore?
Precisely, Not like some others,
If you're so irresistible, why doesn't he marry you?
Then we have to have our marriage annulled,
The clergy never agrees to that,
His great-grandfather married his mistress,
Why can't he do the same?
I'm most worried about Zamor, He only has me,
You need a house and assets, Don't worry about the black one,
His name is Zamor,
Thank you,
Louveciennes,
Jeanne finally had her own place,,,
where she could retire with her beloved king,,,
and no one prescribed the law for her,
This is so boring, -Hold on a little longer,
You may come in,
Sit down,
Where does he come from?
Chandernagor, In Bengal,
Do blacks live there?
This black one comes from Africa, but via India,
I think it was sold several times,
And now he lives in France, -I think her dress is beautiful,
It's striped,
Just a curtain,
He now lives in France, I made him my page,
Come now, a page is white,
A page is of nobility,
Although you don't have to be of nobility to stay at court,
However? -However?
He is my servant now, -Do you mean slave?
No,
It is clear that nature has destined them for slavery,
In America this little black person would harvest sugar cane,
Here he serves you tea and chocolate, That's all,
You shouldn't expect more,
He himself is not even capable of expecting more,
Like all God's creatures, he is capable of redemption,
Louise, are you going to teach me the catechism now?
We don't look alike, but he is my brother in faith,
And yours too, And yours,
And yours, -Totally agree,
She agrees,
A cookie? -Louise,,,
Here,
He has a pink tongue just like us,
I didn't see that,
Is it tasty? Yes?
You're right, A little pink tongue,
I have to leave you,
My sisters,
Let's sing, We continue with the score,
It is over, Finished,
They are mean,
Humiliated by the scandal, Louise left Versailles,,,
renounced her title and privileges and became a nun,
But the king had a soft spot for his last one,
Her departure plunged him into depression,
Sire, Countess du Barry, -Good,
Would you come with me, please?
I need to be alone,
Is it Louise's fate that worries you so much?
I have to work,
I greet you, -Excuse me?
You greet me?
Yes, I greet you,
Who was in his bed last night? -Madame de Brèche,
She is often in Versailles, Her husband is a musician,
Does the king have other mistresses?
You are the king's favorite, but he likes variety,
The charm of the unknown,
If I fall from grace,,,
then warn me immediately and I will leave,
You begin to discover the dark side of the king,
You must remain dignified and brave,
And I am condemned to loyalty?
Your behavior must be above suspicion,,,
because every misstep is exaggerated and detailed by your enemies,
La Borde was right, Jeanne didn't have to worry,
She was still his favorite,
Despite the ridicule about her striped dresses and men's clothing,,,
the ladies of the court imitated her as eagerly as they vilified her,
Look, That,,,
is the Du Barry style,
Jeanne had four happy years with the king,,,
who slowly regained his zest for life,
Zamor grew up and, thanks to Jeanne, became a sensitive, learned young man,
But it was for Adolphe, now introduced at court,,,
that Jeanne felt boundless love,
Concerned about his future, she arranged his marriage,,,
with a girl from the upper middle class with whom he had fallen in love,
Enough, Adolphe, Stop,
Better, but,,,
But another wedding caused a stir,
The Dauphin, heir to the throne,,,
finally got married to the young Marie-Antoinette of Austria,
The arrival of the future queen,,,
meticulously planned by Choiseul, threw the court into turmoil,
Jeanne's position was in danger,
Look at her skin, -My God, white as milk,,,
Louis?
Do you speak some German?
No,
But, I can teach you,
Maybe later?
Mercy?
Madame, the dauphine is hungry,
When will she be served?
As soon as the king arrives,
Naturally,
Thank you, thank you,
His Majesty the King,
And Countess du Barry,
She is in white, In white,
Victoire,
She has her hair down,
How terrible, Awful,
Terrible,
How dare they?
In front of that girl,
Who is that beauty? -That's a street girl,
We have to get rid of that person,
We're counting on you to disown her,
I think I'll leave the table, -Look,
I can't stand it,
It's scandalous that the king wants to introduce that person to the dauphine,
That is unworthy of a Christian king,
It is clear that tonight we are celebrating the end of that person,
Du Barry has no affection or hatred for anyone,
One cannot rule with such a character, -Look,
This woman has something the Pompadour was missing,
She loves the thing, -What thing?
The thing between our legs, dear lady,
My dear niece, you must use your influence,,,
to drive that horrible woman away from the court,
The more you ignore that person, the more the kingdom will love you,
I've hinted what I think, but he's stubborn,
Maybe he listens to you,
He loves you so much, -I love him too,
That person is not allowed to speak to you until you have addressed her,
You know that right?
In that case,,,
I declare myself her rival,
Thank you,
Thank you, Your Majesty,
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
Amen,
Adolphe is defeated in a duel,
It is serious, A carriage is ready,
Jeanne did not get over Adolphe's death,,,
that beloved son she had not borne,
Comfort and luxury now seemed tasteless and meaningless to her,
The only wealth left for her in Versailles was the king's love,
The future queen still ignored her,
This weakened Jeanne's position at court,
Stop,
Let's start again,
Don't let their bullying scare you away,
All right, Your Majesty,
I will do everything in my power to bring the Dauphine to reason,
Good,
The dauphine will speak to you tomorrow,
At 4 o'clock, In the games room,
It goes like this,
I'll give you a heads up,
A look, a word, a sign,
Then the dauphine will come to me and say something to you as she passes,
Casually, Don't expect anything gripping,
The dauphine prefers,,,
casual, -I understand,
That will be perfect,
I wish Adolphe were here,
He would have been so happy for me,
And now I ask one of you to name a card,
Name a card, any card,
Queen of Spades, -Queen of Spades,
Generally,,,
a card comes up,
Ladies and gentlemen, it cannot be anything other than,,,
the queen of spades, Thank you,
A card, ma'am, -Ace of hearts,
A heart like mine,
Thanks everyone,
It's time for our singing lesson,
The king,
Your Majesty, I,,,
The union between France and Austria is at stake,
You have to give in, Just one word,
Poor Mercy, He tried so hard,
I think Mercy is right and you are not, Adélaïde,
Sophie,
What an idiot,
Majesty,,,
Madame de Dauphine would like to invite Your Majesty,,,
for a performance in which she plays a shepherdess,
Charming,
A shepherdess,
Will Your Majesty grace us with His presence?
No,
May I ask why?
No sense,
No point, of course, No sense,
Well, Your Majesty,,,
my respect,
There are so many people in Versailles today, huh?
But why?
She spoke to you,
What makes her tick? Why?
She runs,
She spoke to me,
She said something to me,
She spoke to me,
She is happy, -Yes, she seems happy,
Nine words from the beautiful mouth of a princess save Jeanne from disgrace,
The royal family finally deigned to recognize her,
The lovers' happiness could have lasted, but unfortunately,,,
the stars that the king loved to observe decided otherwise,
I think we should tell him, -Good luck, Duke,
A third bloodletting is necessary,
Jeanne,,,
They want a third bloodletting,
Yes? Yes, Sire,
Where is Jeanne? -She's here,
Jeanne?
Yes? -I'm thirsty,
No, I want Vichy water, -Vichy water,
Thank you, Zamor,
He has smallpox,
Does the king know that?
That would give him the final blow,
You're in danger, madam,
If he dies, the royal family will drive you out,
Prepare yourself,
No,
A simple relapse, nothing more, -At age 64, smallpox is serious,
We shouldn't tell him, -Agree, it would weaken him,
Let us in,
Madame, smallpox is contagious,
I want to see my grandfather, -My job is to protect you,
This is grotesque, -No,
It's Versailles,
Bring me a mirror,
Shows,,,
how I am doing,
I would like to confess,
Sire,,,
to prove your remorse, you must renounce the scandal,
I'm afraid of hell, Jeanne,
I owe it to God and to my people,
You must withdraw,
Light the candle,
Félicité, can you check if the candle is still burning?
Yes, it's still burning,
Thank you,
To the monastery, She doesn't deserve more,
What a relief, Do you see her leaving? -Tidy and tidy,
Jeanne, Jeanne,
She'll be back,
That person will come back,
Unthinkable,
I still want to say goodbye, -No,
Get involved, -Say something,
You have already said goodbye,
Let her in,
Yes, Sire,
I will accompany you,
I love you,
Finally,,,
there you are,
I love you too, Jeanne,
Very much,
Jeanne,,,
My dearest,
Thank you, Sire,
You've always been good to me,
Zamor, please, It'll be fine,
Bye, -Bye,
I absolve you of all your sins,
The king has asked God for forgiveness,,,
for the insult and scandal he has caused to his people,
If God heals him, he will repent,,,
support the faith and enlighten his people,
Take care of her, La Borde,
Yes, Sire,
You are my friend, La Borde,
The king is dead,
Long live the king, -Long live the king,
I am devoted to you,
Jeanne was convicted because she stood for the church and the monarchy,,,
was sin incarnate,
She was locked up in a convent for a year, Louis XVI released her,,,
on the condition that she would never visit Versailles again,
Jeanne moved to Louveciennes and lived there for 15 peaceful years,
The Revolution meant the end of privileges,,,
and a rearrangement of the cards,
The nobles stopped their idle quarrels and in the face of adversity,,,
Marie-Antoinette offered Jeanne her friendship,
In those turbulent times everyone had to choose a side,
Zamor sided with the Republic and, out of necessity or spite,,,
he betrayed his former mistress,
The fact that she was not of nobility did not change that,
In the eyes of the citizens, Jeanne had long ago betrayed her origins,
Louis XVI was beheaded on January 21, 1793,
Marie Antoinette, on October 16,
And Jeanne on December 8,
Her last words on the scaffold are said to have been:
“One more moment, Mr, Executioner,
I loved life too much to let it be taken away like this',,,
before she lifted her eyes to heaven one last time,
I could never have made this film (nor the previous one),,,
without the light of my friend Hervé Temime,
He was my pillar of strength, This movie is for him,
