Pierre Schoeller’s *Versailles* is a realistic portrayal of displacement that emphasizes the harsh realities of life rather than offering escape. The film serves as a critique of societal structures, focusing on the erosion of the family unit and the shortcomings of urban infrastructure. Though the film doesn’t prominently feature specific LGBTQ+, racial, or disability representations, it still offers a progressive perspective by highlighting systemic failures. Its strength lies in its unvarnished depiction of the consequences of a failing social contract.
