About ◎: Polish director Vaida put two heroes of the French Revolution on the screen. They were Danton and Robespierre. They were revolutionaries who shared the victory of the revolution, but they had no choice but to part ways because of different ideals, and later became arch-enemies. The public security committee headed by Robespierre carried out a terrorist policy in order to suppress counter-revolutionary riots and crack down on speculators. In that environment,... ◎ tidbits: this is a historical film that explores and evaluates the French Revolution from a new perspective, revealing the contradictions and struggles between the National Association, the National Salvation Committee and the Public Security Committee within the revolutionary camp. Vaida made changes to the real characters in history, portraying Dandong as a hero full of ideals and enthusiasm, who dared to fight at the expense of himself. The aim is to borrow the history of the French Revolution to echo the then-raging Polish unity. ◎ won: 1984 British Academy Award for Best Foreign language Film Award 1983 French Caesar Award for Best Director of the year 1984 London Review Association Best Director Award 1982 French Film Louis.
