Ils ont jugé la reine

For many reasons, more than a docu-drama. But a fine portrait of wars between categories, values, cruelty, power, crowd and painful- deep loneleness. A queen, the last of France, and her last days of life. Manipulation and hate. Basic traits of French Revolution and the rivalries defining it. A trial and a sentence. And the Great Terror. A well crafted story , with powerful moral, reminding, in some aspects, in some measure, the trial and death of Charles I Stuart or the exile and execution of Romanovs. Short, portrait of evil and its victims, its implacable work and result.
