That Night in Varennes (Italian: Il mondo nuovo; French: La Nuit de Varennes) is a 1982 French-Italian drama film directed by Ettore Scola.

It tells the story of a fictional meeting among Restif de la Bretonne, Giacomo Casanova, Thomas Paine and Sophie de la Borde (a lady in waiting to the queen).
