What Danton Is About
By 1793 Robespierre governs France and the guillotine has become an instrument of policy. Danton, who fought beside him four years earlier and is loved as the voice of the people, has withdrawn to the countryside. He comes back to Paris to stop the Terror, knowing what the journey will cost him. Wajda shot the film in France soon after martial law was imposed in Poland, and the parallel is not hidden: French actors surround Danton, Polish actors surround Robespierre, and the dinner where the two men finally face each other decides everything.
