Intaglio 2.0

I strongly prefer Rose of Versailles. The timing is slower, but once it's about Oscar.

There is a personal and intimate irony to her name. Not least of all my reasons.

There's a scene or two I get mileage out of. It's absolutely heartbreaking when Antoinette's little son *minor unimportant spoiler* because of what happens to him.

She did not...ah, but you can guess.

My favorite is the trial scene.

"Oh yes, Oscar and I were lovers. That devil woman."

Softly, through her teeth: "That bitch."

Not "LIAR!"

Pay attention. Devil is always in the details. ^_~

Ostensibly, that's about the Affair of the Necklace, but who cares, because OSCAR.

And her and Andre` and their fireflies, at last. <3 The hair does get a bit ridiculous, but that doesn't matter.

I like me some Andre`/Oscar, but I don't like that it's all there is.

These things happen. The subtext is missable, I guess, because it's not IN YOUR FACE like, say, Xena: Warrior Princess, but there's a lot of it.

(I remember the other kids teased me, and the girls were afraid of me, and I didn't know why, yet. That was a confusing time.)

I can't decide if I care enough about Alain (hi there, buttons) and Rosalie to try and hunt down some Eroica.
