One episode was entirely devoted to Marie Antoinette ( played by Emmanuelle Beart ) and another episode focussed on Charlotte Corday. Alas, obtaining these films, which were produced as a French mini series for TV, has proved fiendishly difficult ( ala " Manon Roland "- another 1989 French mini series. No coincidence in the rash of revolutionary films at that time , it being the Bicentenary of the French Revolution! ). Could anyone kindly direct me to a copy of any of the aforementioned, please?

 

This seems to be the first one with Emmanuelle Beart

Bah! All a bit of a damp squib at the conclusion.

Anyone aware of any other films or TV series that portray the demise of Marie Antoinette in more forensic detail?
( excluding The Affair Of The Necklace; La Revolution Francaise ).
Anything decent , recent that might have passed by my radar?
