There are elements in the film that seemed to draw an analogy between the French Revolution and Solidarity&#8217;s fight against Communism. However, the Government had swung to the right by the time the film was released in January 1983. The harsh, icy portrayal of Robespierre was considered particularly objectionable and the attitude was that Wajda had denigrated the French Revolution by misrepresenting its icons.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Notable Performances, Qualities, and Moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wojciech Pszoniak as Robespierre<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre-1024x603.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"377\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-92266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre-1024x603.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre-128x75.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre-768x452.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre-459x270.png 459w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Robespierre.png 1213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Gerard Depardieu as Danton<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You-1024x610.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"381\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-92268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You-1024x610.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You-128x76.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You-768x457.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You-454x270.png 454w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Its-You.png 1213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li>Fine period detail and cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting-1024x604.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"378\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-92269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting-1024x604.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting-128x75.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting-458x270.png 458w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Danton-Lighting.png 1216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Jean Prodromid\u00e8s\u2019s score<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, as a creepily effective historical nightmare-drama. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0083789\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1983\/09\/28\/movies\/wajda-s-danton-inside-the-french-revolution.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qnetwork.com\/review\/2190\">Q Network Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;For the benefit of the country, we need to be wicked; we can&#8217;t afford to be just.&#8221; Synopsis: During the French Reign of Terror, Georges Danton (Gerard Depardieu) arrives in Paris to meet with his friend Maximillian Robespierre (Wojciech Pszoniak), but soon finds that his life is in danger.
