9 July 1963 – Fernando Manzaneque’s stage victory in the Alps

Fernando Manzaneque’s victory in the 16th stage of Tour de France 1963 isn’t intirguing because of some relation to the overall competition, but because it happened among rather extraordinary circumstances. Snow at the Tour de France is rare, but not impossible. During the 120 years of Tour de France history it happened a few times.… Read More »9 July 1963 – Fernando Manzaneque’s stage victory in the Alps

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.
