So in this version, Saint-Just takes Éléonore's place in giving Robespierre his bouquet before the FdlÊS. It seems we have a resurgence of the old "Robespierre and Saint-Just were gay and therefore evil" thesis that we've already seen in Wajda's "Danton" and LRF. Wonderful. (It should be noted that I don't have a problem with Robespierre/Saint-Just when it's not used as in pathetic attempt to make them "abnormal" and therefore worthy of abhorrence.)
Well, that was *subtle*...
