With actresses like Isabelle Huppert, Isabelle Adjani, Catherine
Deneuve, Benoit Jacquot´s filmography has achieved international
critical praise and wide popular recognition. His
Les Adieux à la reine,
on Queen Marie Antoinette’s last days, inaugurated the 62nd
International Film Festival of Berlin last year. Set at the beginning of
the French Revolution, veiled with elegant irony in some ways very
modern, it is an intimate human portrait of Marie Antoinette (Diane
Kruger), Queen fleeing from her golden castle during the four days
crucial for French history.
