RF - Les années horribles is the best renaming of that horrible film I've ever heard. Bravo. XDD

They keep on manipulating the Thermidor sequence and the relationships of Robespierre. It's how their whole interpretion of "Robespierre-the-evil-dictator" holds together and it's a direct heritage of the Thermidorian propaganda.

God, I hate how they always portray Saint-Just. It makes me want to scream all the time. And they obviously never read that last speech of his: there was nothing even bloody close to "purging" or even "terrorist" in there.

:-D yeah, I must think of a similar nickname for Wajda's Danton which also deserves it.

I don't want to abandon myself to my jacobin-like paranoia, but do you think that some common clichés do not appear in this movie thanks to Scurr and Mantel? I am referring to the effeminacy, homoeroticism etc. stuff.
On the other hand, Mantel's interpretation of Saint-Just is an immortal example of serious historical-political analysis, oh yes... (irony)

I'm constantly paranoid over that actually. I suspect I may be imagining them too sometimes. That's what I fear I'm doing every time I point it out. >__>; But wouldn't Scurr and Mantel maintain those clichés? I don't know Scurr enough for that. And all I know about Mantel is that I hate everything about her stupid novel.
