Leave your thoughts about Danton.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert[Wajda] has made a great historical picture, and one with sweat and grime all over it. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickdoes not give us easy grounding, but instead constantly challenges us to see each character within the context of both his convictions and the necessities of his political position |
| The New York Review of BooksRobert DarntonIt adds up to an overwhelming indictment of government oppression. |
| Film.comMark Bourne...uncompromising and impassioned. [Depardieu's] throat-scraping, rage-against-the-machine speech in court -- "the Revolution is devouring its children!" -- makes Jimmy Stewart's in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington look like a monk's benediction. |
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierDanton's true achievement is as elaborate period pageantry. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA long-winded and overlong period costume drama. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongThe film lacks the vitality and excitement of Wajdas earlier work. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyWajda's intelligent and complex drama could be appreciated as a period piece about the french Revolution as well as a parable of modern politics in Poland and elsewhere. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA richly suggestive French film about power, liberty, and bureacracy |
| User ReviewSteve HThis movie may be foreign, but I love it!!!! Incredible epicness in the time of Robespierre and Danton right up to the guillotine. |
