Very strong, 6 July 2000
9/10
Author: Mario Bergeron from Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Canada

French cinema had always been very strong when comes the time to present historical subjects. 95 % of the time, they never make errors. This film is of one of the best of the genre, due to very very strong acting by Depardieu and Pszoniak. Wajda work, as the director, is truly a wonder. Everyone should see this great film.
