    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In this movie, Diane Kruger speaks French with a German/Austrian accent - which is undoubtedly how the Austrian-born Marie Antoinette would have spoken herself.
    • Goofs
      On several occasions when soldiers are marching through the main and side gates of Versailles, and also when Sidonie goes to Le Petite Trianon for the first time and falls into a puddle, you can clearly see the very 21st century anti-terrorism concrete security barriers and bollards flanking the gates.
    • Quotes
      • Agathe-Sidonie Laborde: In a way, Your Majesty, you're asking me to go as bait.
      • La reine Marie Antoinette: An ugly word for a pretty mouth!
      • Agathe-Sidonie Laborde: Words are all I possess. I wield them well.
