That Night of Varennes
La Nuit de Varennes
The late 18th century’s most accident-prone carriage club finally gets the traffic jam they deserve. Three very different passengers chase a missing monarch through the countryside, discovering history is more slapstick than somber. Such fondness for anachronism feels less homage than hostage situation.
