Title: Good information, but monotone
Review: As a French teacher, I bought this to supplement some of the descriptions of Versailles in our high school textbook. It is quite informative, IF you can stay awake during it. The narration is monotone and I watched as my usually attentive class fell asleep. It does have moments that elicited some reactions and raised some heads ("nobles would find dark corners and staircases in which to relieve themselves as toilets were scarce" or "servants would scratch at the door with a pinky finger rather than knock"). These little tidbits were things that they remembered and referred back to over the year, but as to the main ideas of the documentary, those were mostly lost amidst the snores.
Is the review positive or negative?
