it is. i used to not care so much about that episode until i read the biography of Fouche and Marie-Antoinette...it was just very impressive..
okay, photo captions...jus caz some are a bit confused...in order...
Passion Play
The court of Louis XVI thrived on le scandale. Here Gisele Bündchen and Gérard Depardieu (soon to be seen in Bon Voyage) reenact the roles of seduced and seducer as represented in Fragonard's 1778 painting Le Verrou. Christian Lacroix Haute Couture dress.
Court in the Act
Courtesans and queens, actors and archdukes—the rarefied salons of the eighteenth-century French aristocracy were the Bungalow 8 of their day. Hugh Dancy (starring later this year in King Arthur) toys with model Karen Elson's lapdog, as French actor Benjamin Lindbergh (second from left) keeps an eye out for dirty pool in a shot that evokes Louis-Léopold Boilly's The Game of Billiards. All clothes, Christian Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano.
Black Narcissus
In the 1700s, as today, it reflected well on a patron's vanity to commission work by the chicest painters of the hour. Here, new model Gemma Ward watches as the French artist Fabrice Hybert ponders an abstraction. All clothing by Gaultier Paris.
Chambre Music
Louis Garrel (center), who played the sexually adventurous Parisian twin in Bertolucci's The Dreamers, joins Depardieu's debauched soiree around the harpsichord. All clothes, Chanel Haute Couture.

I put a link to this earlier in this thread, but it doesn't name all of the female models. Just Gisele, Karen and Gemma. I certainly see more than that.
Anyway, beautiful pictures and thanks for posting!

:P it's probably because Gisele's face and body is way too modern for the time of the story. Gemma fits more into the scene with her delicate, pale skin, i think.
