		Royal Bonbon is a fabulously theatrical re-enactment of the immediate aftermath of the Haitian Revolution (1804), centring on the figure of Henri Christophe, an ex-slave and one of the leaders of the Revolution who crowned himself King Henry I in 1811.
		Soon more people gather at the palace, and as his namesake did, the new Henri Christophe creates a royal court for himself, renaming his decidedly proletarian entourage with elegant and fanciful names of the French aristocracy.
		The scenes shot in the Sans Souci ruins are among the strongest in the film, capturing both the underlying grief and absurdity of the situation.
