"Goodbye, my queen"

A comparatively different historical costume film, from the perspective of a maid, witnessed the days when the "mountain and rain are coming and the wind is all over the building".

The main characters are concentrated in a few women, but the secondary characters are everywhere. Even without sufficient historical knowledge, the film is easy to understand. Although the plot is calm and without the intrigue and magnificence of previous court dramas, it reflects the fatefulness of an era's end through a certain emotional aspect of a woman.

Benoît Jacquot is very good at simplifying the complexity, and his control ability is good, especially in the corridors full of candles at night, the scheduling of the character shots is very skillful. And he has always excavated the delicate emotions of women also works well in the film.
