Summary:
"Gérard Depardieu and Wojciech Pszoniak star in Andrzej Wajda's powerful, intimate depiction of the ideological clash between the earthy, man-of-the-people Georges Danton and icy Jacobin extemist Maximilien Robespierre, both key figures of the French Revolution. By drawing parallels to Polish 'solidarity,' a movement that was being quashed by the government as the film went into
production
, Wajda drags history into the present. Meticulous and fiery, Danton has been hailed as one of the greatest
films
ever made about the Terror."--Container.
