Writer/director Gabriel Le Bomin’s spectacular biographical drama stirringly depicts a crucial period in the life of one of modern French history's most famous figures. May 1940: the war between Germany and its neighbours has intensified, and Hitler seizes Paris. Recently promoted two-star General Charles de Gaulle (The Translators' Lambert Wilson), wants to change the course of history. After becoming separated from his wife, Yvonne (Isabelle Carré) and their children, Charles travels to London to meet with Winston Churchill. He wants to make another voice heard: that of resistance. Le Bomin expertly mixes the historic and the Romanesque, charting both a military debacle and the eventual revelation of a destiny. Nominated for three César Awards. Some French language, English subtitles.
