It was a bloodbath, a mess of shifting alliances, radical ideologies, and heads rolling quite literally. The Reign of Terror wasn't just a catchy name; it was a period of state-sanctioned paranoia and violence.

Secondly, the French Revolution was a complex beast with conflicting factions vying for power. The Girondins, Jacobins, Montagnards – it was a dizzying array of political groups with differing visions for France's future. The US, with its own delicate balance of federalists and anti-fede

Speaking about the experience, Robbie shared that filming intimate scenes is far from glamorous as perceived by many. “It’s not like what you see in the movies,” Robbie explained to Porter magazine as reported by MARCA on Tuesday, February 23. “In reality, we are squeezed into a small room with around 30 crew members, all of whom were men.” “For 17 hours, I had to simulate intimate actions.
