1989335 min7.5 / 10

A sweeping, ideas-driven historical drama that traces the French Revolution from fiscal crisis to the Terror, emphasizing political upheaval and ideological conflict over intimate character study.

A history of the French Revolution beginning from the decision of the king to convene the Etats-Generaux in 1789 in order to deal with France's debt problem. Part one spans the event until August 10, 1792 (when the King Louis XVI lost all authority and was imprisoned). Part two carries the story through the end of the terror in 1794.
