What happens

La Révolution française is a two-part 1989 historical drama co-produced by France, Germany, Italy and Canada for the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. The full film runs at 360 minutes, but the edited-for-television version is slightly longer. It purports to tell a faithful and neutral story of the Revolution, from the calling of the Estates-General to the fall of Maximilien Robespierre. The film had a large budget (FRF 300 million) and boasted an international cast. It was shot in French, German and English. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
