Abstract | The film, directed by Andrzej Wajda, portrays the conflict between the rival Jacobine revolutionary leaders Maximilien Robespierre (1758–94) and Georges Danton (1759–94). The film is an adaptation of the 1929 play The Danton Case by Stanisława Przybyszewska, who wrote the play in 1928/29, after many years of studying the French Revolution (1789–99). In 1793, Danton, a champion-of-the-people, clashed against Robespierre and other radicals in the Jacobine party. In the end, Danton was guillotined in 1794 by the advocates of revolutionary terror after accusations of venality and leniency toward the enemies of the Revolution. |
