I am fond of history, and French history too, but this TV movie taught many things that I did not know at all. It is a bit boring though for those who are not that interested in the history of France. Many details and technalites, in this mainly indoor drama taking place between the French Revolution and the rise of a guy named Bonaparte. You discover that the French revolution was actually very complex and had nothing to envy to the Russian revolution one century later. Yes, it is definitely interesting, worth watching, but not destined to all audiences. It is shown as a docu fiction, no romance, no useless elements for pure hard boiled historians. No fat, only "lean" material.
