Saint-Just ou La forces des choses [eng sub]

[Cédric Monget]

I just saw that someone had posted an upscaled version with English subtitles of an excellent French TV movie about the revolutionary Saint-Just — Saint-Just ou La forces des choses*.

I think this may be of interest to many of you. I recall that Saint-Just played an important military role both as a member of the Comité de Salut Public (where he often clashed with Carnot) and as a Représentant en mission.

* La force des choses / the strength of things is a quote from Robespierre to describe the inexorable, mechanical and inhuman / superhuman side of the Revolution (as Georg Büchner illustrates very well in Dantons Tod).
