2024 FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL PRESENTS TO YOU:

Director: Gianluca Jodice 

Cast: Guillaume Canet, Mélanie Laurent, Vidal Arzoni

Rating: Parental Guidance - 13yo | Some Disturbing Scenes

1792, the Ancien Régime comes to an end. In Paris, Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and their children were arrested and taken to the Tour du Temple dungeon. Waiting for a way out, their hopes waver as the people anger grow. Freely inspired by the notebooks of Cléry, the King's valet who remained with him until his death.

Presented exceptionally as the opening film at the 2024 Locarno International Film Festival, THE FLOOD traces the climax of the French Revolution: the imprisonment and final days of Louis XVI and his family. Majestic sets and period costumes underscore the evolution of the script, which takes on the task of showing us the humanity of characters we have been taught to hate. “After me, the flood”, a phrase attributed to Louis XVI's father about the next King of France - come and discover how it takes on its full meaning in this historical drama.
