Louis XVI (Jean-François Balmer) is arrested, those suspected of royalism are killed, and Robespierre becomes sovereign.

Andy F

Even better than the first half, this film is more of a character study of the key players. My only gripe as with the first film is that it is way too short! Stunning and the actor who plays Robespierre gives a magnificent performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
