I also think that movie does not show us a believable Saint-Just. Cristopher Thompson doesn't exist for me. It's an idiot , and watching "The French Revolution" you can't just realize why did he terrorize the whole Convention. I won't be terrorized by such a teenage rocker! :D And yes. The whole movie is pure shit. I found it not only fake, but also boring.
The Wajda's guy was O.K, but at some points, he looked a sadistic young man. Manuel, from "la Terreur et la vertue" it's better, but he lacked of severity...and I didn't watch "Saint-Just ou la force des choses", so I can't really said if I like it.
My perfect Saint-Just in a movie would have been a mix of Wajda's one with "la Terreur et la vertue"'s one. THis last movie is my very favorite about FR. It has very moving parts. And of course, it's Hanriot it's a cutie pie! (Not like the fat, ugly old man who performed Hanriot in "The French Revolution")
