Danton (1983)

Danton and Robespierre were close friends and fought together in the French Revolution, but by 1793 Robespierre was France's ruler, determined to wipe out opposition with a series of mass executions that became known as the Reign of Terror. Danton, well known as a spokesman of the people, had been living in relative solitude in the French countryside, but he returned to Paris to challenge Robespierre's violent rule and call for the people to demand their rights. Robespierre, however, could not accept such a challenge, even from a friend and colleague, and he blocked out a plan for the capture and execution of Danton and his allies.

Power and leadership are analyzed in this slow film, which moves in its own direction, shows what it wants to show, and features some powerful images (particularly the ending, which I loved). The good set and costume design are shot in a beautiful way. The score is brooding and perhaps excessive for some viewers, but very good in my opinion. Depardieu gives a fine performance indeed, although a bit too showy. The eccentricities of his character allows him to do so, though. So, it's a very good movie, not great, and gives a lot to think about afterwards.

Great performance from Gerard Depardieu starring as the French rebel Danton and his role during the French Revolution. I really enjoy Andrzej Wajda films, and this is his usual style. Overall, well done.

This film absolutely moved me, and very historically accurate, even down to the last detail. Definitely the best film set during the French Revolution that I've seen. And Gerard Depardieu is nothing short of amazing as Georges Danton.

Generally speaking, Depardieu is much better in French than in English. He's fine here in a showy role but the film is a little slow and a little long.

A French-language movie about the trial and execution of Georges Danton by the Committee for Public Safety (1794). A really scary movie in a lot of ways. My only criticism is that it lets Danton and Desmoulins off the hook, not entirely but more than Robespierre. Perhaps it is so well known that Danton and Co. set up the bloody Tribunals and was possibly THE primary force in giving the CPS dictatorial powers only 9 months earlier. So maybe for a French audience, spelling it out clearly would have been too "on the nose". But other things, such as that Danton predicted, the Committee's leader Robespierre would be executed eventually largely *because* he had executed Danton *was* clearly spelled out. And they had Danton correctly predict how long it would take (3 months), which I doubt is historical. Still scary movie. If you're interested in this period and these people after seeing the movie, I recommend the book "The Gods Are Thirsty".
