The film, an adaptation of Chantal Thomas' prize-winning novel of the same name, is set in the early days of the French revolution as people begin to revolt against the court of King Louis the XVI. The film co-stars Lea Seydoux ("Midnight in Paris") and Virginie Ledoyen ("Army of Crime").
In a rarity for an opening night film, "Farewell My Queen" will also run in competition for Berlin's Gold and Silver Bears.
