What a tremendous French series, a costume, period historical topic, taking place during the late 1790's, during and just after the King Louis the sixteenth fall. It is a family saga, a tragedy, a downbeat and sad tale, where supporting characters are as terrififc as the lead ones. Superb acting, directing skills, screenplay. The director was the TV vet Yannick Andrei, who made very little for the big screen: only a crime film AU DELA DE LA PEUR. So this one is in the line of JACQUOU LE CROQUANT. Very gloomy but great, easy to follow despite the numerous characters. I highly recommend it. It would be great that many young audiences discover it.
