Second viewing; first seen on May 21, 1992.
Fictional biography of the Austrian-born wife of Louis XVI of France.
Despite showing some respect (but not enough of it) for the victims of the Revolution, and depicting its perpetrators with acceptable accuracy, the screenplay is otherwise not very good, its weakest point being perhaps an ill-conceived love affair between the titular character and a Swedish nobleman. Overall, I found the film vaguely amusing, more watchable than it appeared to me when I first saw it (I was anti-monarchy then, I think).
