PelotonTales is a blog by Anita Pethő, literary critic, cultural historian and expert of historical fiction (novels, films, tv series, etc.)
On Bastille Day, please, take a look at the project Trapped in the 18th century and Anita Pethő's thoughts of rewatching Andrzej Wajda's film Danton (1983).
There is something mesmerizing in the way, how most of the characters of Andrzej Wajda’s Danton (1983) look like they’re on the brink of a mental breakdown.
Just look at Antoine de Saint-Just (Bogusław Linda), how he leans himself to the wall in his first scene with Maximilien Robespierre (Wojciech Pszoniak), saying he had no sleep. Look at the deep dark circles under his eyes. His gaze, looking into the distance, almost (?) like crazy. Look a Camille Desmoulins (Patrice Chérau), the nice and neat, young Camille, who is literally whining himself through the entire story, so devastated, that his cellmate got annoyed by him. And there is François Louis Bourdon (Andrzej Seweryn), the turncoat revolutionary, with his weary look, dirthy hair, and sweating, shining face. Even Georges Jacques Danton ( Gérard Dépardieu) doesn’t bother to wear his wig properly anymore.
