Synopsis

The film depicts the last days of Marie-Antoinette of Austria, played by Ute Lemper, showing her trial and execution. It was directed during the celebrations of the bicentenary of the French Revolution. With a script written by Alain Decaux and André Castelot based on the minutes from the trial of the Queen, L'Autrichienne is for the most part a closed hearing with scenes of the trial and at the Conciergerie, punctuated by flash-back sequences.
