Director: Wajda Andrzej Cast: Gérard Deperdieu, Wojciech Pszoniak, Anne Alvaro, Patrice Chereau Production: Gaumont, TF1 Films Production - Country: France-Poland, Year: 1983, Synopsis: November 1793. The one-time national hero and leading light of the French Revolution, Georges Danton, returns to Paris after a self-imposed exile in the country. He is vociferously opposed to the reign of terror that Robespierre and the Committee for Public Safety have initiated in an attempt to quash any opposition to the new Republic. But whilst Danton's outspoken criticism of Robespierre and his stooges strikes a chord with the unwashed masses, he makes himself very unpopular with the state officials.
