This is a masterpiece directed by Ariane Mnouchkine from the raw material of the French Revolution, as improvised with her company and fantasically watchable. It was innovative when she did it and it stands up brilliantly. It is a revelation on how a great historical event can be interpreted and it is an international disgrace that it is tough to find in the video stores.
