Vaincre ou mourir (2022)
A moving piece of local french history
I've been deeply moved by this movie.
I only recently discovered what happened in Vendée, a french department, right after the revolution.
And it's important that peace can be made with this dark event of french history.
This is not about promoting kingdom over republic... Those reviews judging this movie by this angle are deeply wrong.
It's about loyalty and "panache" among many other qualities. The main character is fighting for a noble cause and has to cope with loyalty and treason from both sides.
And let's be honest, it might not be a blockbuster with famous actors or tremendous budget but, man, it has a story to tell and you can feel the spirit of these actors playing their role.
Deep respect.
I wish I could definitely see more movies like this and particularly with my kids.
