A new film on the end of the French monarchy, "The Flood" ("Le Deluge") by Italian director Gianluca Jodice, opened the Locarno Film Festival in Milan, on 7th August.
"The court of Louis XVI is stripped to a faded, festering husk of itself in “The Flood,” a stark study of the king’s last days in which the luxurious trappings of French monarchy disappear before our eyes — until only its literal architecture remains. An impressively severe second feature by Italian director Gianluca Jodice, this is a brisk rejoinder to past cinematic portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette that have rendered even their downfall in the most lavish way possible."
