HistoryDrama

The early days of the French Revolution, as seen through the eyes of the ordinary citizens in Marseille and the royal court, including King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

VIBE

A sweeping historical drama that captures the fervor and chaos of revolution. It feels grand and nationalistic, focusing on the collective spirit and the birth of an anthem. A powerful, if somewhat biased, look at a pivotal moment.
