Yes. Saint-Just has much of a "dionysiac" archetype on him...And he had a great sensitivity for "the general world" without being able to approach concrete individuals. I think this very thing makes of him a great character for a good fictional-history book or a movie, or a play...But this goes for other Revolutionnary types as well. I can't understand why there's no more GOOD movies about French Revolution characters. They could be real human dramas!

A good movie about Collot d'Herbois could be a great succes. Did you read Michel Biard's book about him? It has a lot of info and shows the man was quite a character! His life before the Revolution was very interesting.
