Plot

The story of the movie revolves around the late 18th century. So, The Rose of Versailles follows Oscar François de Jarjayes, a noblewoman raised as a man to serve in the French military. As commander of the Royal Guard, she witnesses the luxurious yet turbulent life at the Palace of Versailles, where political tensions mount ahead of the French Revolution. Her story intertwines with that of Marie Antoinette and the common people fighting for change, leading to dramatic events that shape history.

The original manga, serialized in Margaret magazine from 1972 to 1973, is considered a shojo classic. It has inspired multiple adaptations, including a 1979-1980 anime series, a 1990 anime film, and a live-action movie. With Netflix handling the global release, this new adaptation is expected to introduce the timeless story to a new generation.
