william d I was disappointed. None of the great events of the French Revolution are presented here, save for the storming of the palace at Tuileries. Instead, the story concentrates on some members of the contingent from Marseilles who travel to Paris to join the revolution, interspersed with characters delivering soliloquies justifying their actions. I found it rather dull. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting but curiously low key movie about the beginnings of the french revolution and the role the anthem "Marseillaise" played. It follows volunteers as they march on Paris and their gathering cloud that menaced the aristocrats. Chilling parallels to today . Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Não sei que mandinga à (C) essa que tem no sangue da família Renoir. O que importa à (C) que os resultados são... encantadores. :-D MAN!, Jean Renoir, acho, faz o cinema de hoje parecer tão... pequeno... :-) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The French Revolution of 1789-92 told from the point of view of "the people". The film was interesting because we saw it told by the French (rather than The Scarlet Pimpernel etc. which aren't showing the French in a good light) but it was a pity that the left-wing biases of the time showed through so strongly. Some of the acting is very good, and some of Renoir's filmography was excellent, and the time that the film was made makes it very poignant - the French people not surrendering..... 7.5/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member sprawling epic story of the French Revolution....despite having a great director and an epic scale the film seemed a little impersonal even though it made a continual point of viewing events from several "common" people's points of view. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Something in this film made me uncomfortable.The over-long and too-explicative dialogues?The superficial,over-the-top characters?Or is it the too-patriotic moral it gives?The three,probably.
