The Story Of The Necklace That Led To The French Revolution
The Affair of the Necklace is one of those events that historians have pinpointed as leading to a gradual disillusionment between Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.In the real event, Marie Antoinette was falsely accused of attempting to fraud the Crown's jewelers.In reality, a French thief had forged her signature and did it. Regardless, the public turned against the Queen, and this moment eventually led to the French Revolution. The film of the same name is gorgeous, with all the trappings typi...
The Third Movie In The Les Visiteurs Film Series
When thinking about French Revolution movies, images of rich nobles beheaded by the guillotine, angry mobs wearing their tri-colored cockades while fighting for justice, or major events like the Storming of the Bastille come to mind. The Visitors: Bastille Day (Les Visiteurs: La Révolution) is the rare movie that can find humor in such a tumultuous period. Heads may roll, but it was still lauded for being funny. It is also the third installment of the Les Visiteurstime-travel comedy series, w...
One Of The More Historically Accurate French Revolution Movies
This French film, directed by Pierre Schoeller, shows three of the most important scenes of the Revolution: the Storming of the Bastille, the Women’s March on Versailles, and the execution of King Louis XVI. It also manages to depict the evolution of the government bodies, from the Estates-General through the National Constituent Assembly up to the National Assembly, giving time to different Revolutionary leaders such as Danton, Marat, and Robespierre. This film can feel clunky but strives fo...
A Movie About A Man Trying To Save Those Persecuted During The Revolution
In some ways, the 1930s was a golden age for adventure films when various studios tried to push out as many of these swashbuckling films as possible. The Scarlet Pimpernelis about an English aristocrat who adopts a different identity to help save those being persecuted by the Revolution, and it is a perfect fit. The characters are perfectly cast, and while it might lack some of the adrenaline of more modern movies about the French Revolution, it’s still a lovely film from a bygone era of Holl...
A Six-Hour Epic Telling Of The Entire French Revolution
So much happened in the French Revolution that most movies about it fail to capture the scope. This movie (originally titled La Révolution française) was made to commemorate the bicentennial of the Revolution. It was divided into two parts: Years of Hope (les Années lumière) and Years of Rage (les Années terribles). It captures everything from the beginning, remaining true to history while letting the characters have a chance to feel like real people. This is the only movie that encompasses t...
One Of The More Violent French Revolution Movies
While violence lurks just off the screen in many French Revolution movies, this one takes a few risks by showing the destruction that the Terror perpetrated against the enemies of the Revolution. Directed by Éric Rohmer, the film is based on Grace Elliott's memoirs as a royalist caught in the aftermath of the French Revolution. It was sharply criticized by many in France because it didn't hold back in showing the revolutionary violence. However, it is a well-constructed film, and the narrativ...
A SIlent Era French Revolution Masterpiece

The movie was restored to its original glory in 1981, a second time in 2016, and a more...
A Forgotten French Revolution Movie
Saint-Just and the Force of Things (Saint-Just ou La force des choses) is a movie about the French Revolution that has all but been forgotten. Directed by Pierre Cardinal, Saint-Just and the Force of Things follows the Jacobin leader Louis Antoine de Saint-Just (Patrice Alexsandre), who was Robespierre’s friend during the Reign of Terror. In the movie, Alexsandre skillfully portrays the titular hero as an erudite and impassioned radical who tries to reshape his nation. It all finally comes to...
Mel Brooks Spoofs The French Revolution
Mel Brooks’ send-up of the historical drama is a great comedy movie about different historical moments, including the French Revolution. Brooks, of course, has always had an eye for finding those things that make seemingly serious genres (horror, epic, western) unintentionally hilarious. While the Revolution only takes up a part of this film, it’s memorable in large part because Mel Brooks himself portrays the hapless Louis XVI. It’s a truly glorious spoof of the costume drama. It also remain...
A Supernatural Horror Movie In The French Revolution
Though most films about the Revolution are either biopics or costume dramas, this one is a little different. Told in flashback by a nobleman about to be executed during the Revolution, Brotherhood of the Wolffocuses on a huntsman and his efforts to track down an elusive beast slaughtering people in one of the provinces. It’s a rather haunting film, to be sure, though it also has moments of excess that remain dated in hindsight. Christopher Gans proved his masterful directorial eye in this mov...
