Alliance Française de Brisbane is delighted to partner with SAE University College Brisbane to bring you a monthly French cineclub series!
This initiative celebrates French cinema, offering everyone—students, film enthusiasts, friends, family, and the broader community—a
chance to explore French culture through film in an educational and engaging setting.
Join us for another Alliance Française Cineclub at SAE for another classic French film:
Queen Margot (1994)
La Reine Margot
Director: Patrice Chéreau
Amid the violent tensions of the French Wars of Religion, Princess Marguerite de Valois is forced into a political marriage with the Protestant leader Henri of Navarre in hopes of reconciling a divided nation. But behind the glittering celebrations of the royal court, jealousy, fanaticism and ruthless ambition threaten to tear France apart. As the formidable Catherine de’ Medici tightens her grip on power, Margot finds herself trapped between loyalty to her dangerous family and her own desire for love and freedom — on the eve of the infamous St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.
Screening Details:
The Cineclub is designed as both an educational tool and a celebration of French culture, combining entertainment with opportunities to deepen your knowledge of French cinema.
