    Apparently the new De Gaulle film revolves around Charlie trying to foil an American plot to carve up France after the liberation. Which is both insane and The Most French Idea So Far

    De Gaulle: Resistance Outstanding film, best new film this year. And as good a historical-political biopic as you could ever want to see.

    So I went and watched the De Gaulle movie (first one so far, h/t @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com ), and it really is excellent. I have to say though, I really was shocked by how much of this I *didn’t know*!

    De Gaulle: Liberté Just as outstanding as the first part. Together a must-see wartime biopic and cracking film. But also a must-see for understanding post-war history. A lot of post-1945 France-UK-USA relationship stuff becomes so much more comprehensible from watching this two-part movie.

    So, two years ago, I played Ernest Bevin in this two parter epic French movie, De Gaulle. De Gaulle: Résistance and De Gaulle: Liberté (also known as La Bataille de Gaulle) and they've finally been released to mostly warm acclaim. Here's a phone snap before costume checks. 😄 Bon.

    Saturday afternoon cinema at the Brunswick Centre. Went to see De Gaulle Part 2. An absolute masterpiece that is definitely worth trying to see on the big screen. The poem Liberté is used to powerful effect when spoken at the end of the film. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libert%...

    Absolutely love the UK trailer for the De Gaulle biopic that is trying to dress the film up as a UK WW2 movie by using, presumably, most of the footage of Simon Russell Beale as a not very good Winston Churchill:

    Simon Russell Beale now both the best on screen depiction of Winston Churchill (in the De Gaulle movie) I have seen and the worst I have seen (Operation Mincemeat).

    I like how De Gaulle is portrayed as a fallible figure (proud, sometimes blind), while the film simultaneously depicts the fierce internal politics among the Allies. It effectively shows that the victory over the Nazis was a long, arduous process. As usual, Churchill is also a great movie character.

    Ouch . . 'Liberté j'écris ton nom' is a WWII poem referenced in the title of the new De Gaulle film. This lycée student's placard says 'I would write your name if I still had hands', after a 15-year-old boy had his hand blown off by a police grenade. The student anger is very real

    The De Gaulle movie, which is called either Tilting Iron or Résistance in English, is a huge antifascist delight, with a major desert battle sequence, and with a massive heart as it tries so hard to fight, and fight, and do the right thing. I was blown away by it, if you couldn't guess

    I loved the De Gaulle film and will see Part 2. Much will be made of General Leclerc, the 'liberator of Paris'. I have no problem with that, but if you want to know what he did next, in Vietnam, you could check out 1945 The Reckoning. youtube.com/watch?v=J6MR... Hint:It wasn't to liberate anyone!

    I went to see De Gaulle: Part 1 - Résistance this evening. Excellent film. Perhaps a little over heroic, but caught the conflicts with Churchill and Roosevelt well. Bir Hakeim battle was well done, even if it could have done with more Italians. But that is being picky.
