With actresses such as Isabelle Huppert, Isabelle Adjani, and Catherine Deneuve, Benoît Jacquot's filmography has won international critical praise and wide popular recognition. His Les Adieux à la reine, about the last days of Queen Marie Antoinette, opened the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival last year. Set at the beginning of the French Revolution and veiled with an elegant irony that is in some ways very timely, it is an intimate human portrait of Marie Antoinette (Diane Kruger), a queen fleeing from her gilded castle during four crucial days in French history.
