The Rose of Versailles: A Timeless Tale of Romance and Revolution
The Rose of Versailles is based on the historical romance manga by Riyoko Ikeda, serialized from May 1972 to December 1973. The manga is credited with pioneering the shojo genre, and its influence remains strong in the world of anime and manga today. The original 1979 anime by TMS Entertainment, directed by Tadao Nagahama and Osamu Dezaki, ran for 40 episodes, solidifying its place in anime history.
The movie brings a new vision to the story of Oscar François de Jarjayes, a woman raised as a man and destined to serve the royal family, and her relationships with Marie Antoinette, André Grandier, and Hans Axel von Fersen. Set against the backdrop of late 18th-century France, the anime follows the characters’ lives as they navigate love, betrayal, and the tumultuous tides of revolution.
Official Synopsis: The Rose of Versailles
Oscar François de Jarjayes, raised as the heir to a general’s family, disguises herself as a man while serving the royal family.

Alongside them are André Grandier, Oscar’s childhood friend and loyal servant, and Hans Axel von Fersen, a dashing count from Sweden. Their destinies intertwine in a tale of romance, betrayal, and revolution in the grand halls of Versailles.
