this be a great movie to look at and since it so nicely direct by andrzej wajda but at the same time i wish the movie would have some more depth in it and in term of it story . it an historically relevant movie about the last day of the french revolution but yet the movie forget to focus on the character motivation make the movie perhaps a tad bit too shallow to consider this a brilliant and relevant movie to what . somehow it doesn not make the movie any less great to watch though . it make with passion and eye for detail . every aspect about the movie be good look and such a it setting and costume and camera work . also the story still work out a powerful and though at the same time it could have be so much good and more powerful with a just bit more character development and insight historical information . guess if youre completely familiar with the french revolution and the story of danton and robespierre in particular and this movie will be a perfect one for you to watch . it somewhat typical for a french movie to tell a story slowly and subtle and without ever step too much in detail . often this work out charmingly but in this case the movie could have really do with a bit more depth . other than that and this movie be still one fine example of french cinema and despite the fact that it be direct by a polish director and star lot of polish actor in it as well . gérard depardieu be great in his role and though the movie also decide to concentrate a lot on many other different character . the movie perhaps have a bit too many character but each and every performance be a great one and so this doesn not really ever become a big complaint and other than that it slow do the story a bit at certain point . a great movie that could have be brilliant . positive .
