Review:
A beautiful retelling of the events post-French Revolution in the perspective of Marie Antoinette's executioner. At first, I got hooked in the art but later on fell in love with the history itself to the point I even looked for articles and videos about it to ensure accuracy. There is a hint of fiction in it tho, especially Marie-Josephe's existence which became a good subplot showing female oppression and all that jazz.
Aside from the historical accuracy, I also like the gore and tidbits of anatomical fun facts. It is educational in a way that only people with hearts of steel can digest.
Again... this is not for everybody, especially with the sex and violence present.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
