Line of Events

Follows the final days of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette before their execution

The title comes from the famous phrase "après moi, le déluge," attributed to King Louis XV of France.

He is said to have uttered it at the end of his reign, referring to the chaos that would follow his death

The phrase reflects a fatalistic attitude towards the challenges that would befall France, such as those that culminated in the French Revolution during the reign of his successor Louis XVI.

The film depicts the months that the French royal family spent in captivity during the trial of Louis XVI

It is structured in three acts, each characterized by a different directorial style: the first act is detached and elegant, the second is dynamic and dramatic, and the third is more introspective, reflecting the descent of the royal lineage from divine figures to victims.

It is definitely worth watching

Well-crafted and beautifully shot, the film offers thought-provoking material about the tension between nature and reason, the hypocrisy of all ideologies, and the unchanging nature of the human condition even in the most extraordinary circumstances.
