Review of Farewell, My Queen (2012) by Nick D — 16 Mar 2013
Upstairs Downstairs Goes to the French Revolution in a sumptuous presentation of the key historical moment from the perspective of the servants at Versailles, specifically a young woman Sidonie who is Marie-Antoinette's "reader".
I loved the interplay between the scenes in the gorgeous palace rooms and the communal tables and rabbit-warren rooms of the servants' quarters; the gossip; the back-biting; the sex. And, who knew that the Queen was a lesbian?
