Movie project commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Versailles no Bara manga's publication.
Hoping to unite their countries with an alliance, The Empress of Austria arranges her daughter, the delightful yet spoiled Marie Antoinette, to marry the crown prince of France, Louis XVI. Upon arriving in Versailles, the Austrian princess meets Oscar Francois de Jarjayes, Captain of the Royal Guards—a seemingly dashing young man—but to Antoinette's astonishment, he is in fact a woman!
The youngest daughter of a noble family with a prominent lack of a male heir, Oscar was raised as a boy to continue the family's military legacy. Suffocated by the rigid rules associated with her new position and longing for companionship, Antoinette immediately takes a liking to this intriguing young woman, and wastes no time befriending her. However, as the childish new queen foolishly abuses her power, Oscar is conflicted between maintaining her loyalty to the royal family and addressing the growing concern of poverty among the common people.
Recalling the events of the French Revolution, Versailles no Bara depicts the struggles of two women unjustly burdened by family expectations. Yet, despite being forced to deny their identities at the expense of personal happiness, they march on to become key players in the annals of history.

Where it came from
The 2025 Rose of Versailles film serves as a modern cinematic adaptation of Riyoko Ikeda’s seminal 1972 manga, a work credited with revolutionizing the shōjo genre by blending historical fiction with poignant explorations of gender and political upheaval. Produced by Avex Pictures, the project was conceived to reintroduce the story of Oscar François de Jarjayes to a new generation, maintaining the original narrative's focus on the twilight of the French monarchy while utilizing contemporary animation techniques to revitalize the iconic aesthetic of the Versailles court.
The film’s design language leans into the rich, ornate visual legacy established by the 1979 anime series, while striving for a more fluid, expressive style characteristic of modern feature-length animation. The production team aimed to honor Ikeda’s legacy by balancing the theatrical grandeur of pre-revolutionary France with the internal psychological intensity that defined the protagonist’s struggle. Early critical reception has centered on its success in capturing the series' enduring emotional resonance, positioning the film as both a respectful tribute to the classic source material and a distinct, standalone entry in the franchise's history.
