Plot
[edit]The film is a historical fresco dealing with the French Revolution, especially the first years of the period (1789–1793), and notably focusing on the role and the perception of the contemporaries of King Louis XVI in the tumult which engulfed France at the end of the Ancien Régime.[10] The film looks at a number of historic figures of the time, such as Robespierre, Marat, Desmoulins and Danton, in the Estates General, the National Constituent Assembly, and finally the National Convention.
