Les Croix de Bois/Wooden Crosses (Film 1932 - ENG SUB)
Adaneth - Cinema&TVWooden Crosses (French: Les Croix de Bois) is a 1932 French anti-war film by Raymond Bernard based upon the autobiography of the same name written by Roland Dorgelès. Audio in French with English subtitles (click on CC for the subtitles). The film is set some time after the Great Retreat, where the British Expeditionary Force and the French 5th Army fought a fighting retreat to the Marne. The events follow Gilbert Demachy, a young French law student, who enlisted in the French army some time after 2 August 1914, and the infantry squad he joins. The producer, Bernard Natan, himself a veteran of the First World War and a Croix de Guerre recipient, wished to make those watching the film "hate and despise war". He was given free rein to use Pathé's new sound department to create recordings of explosions and gunshots, something he referred to as "the reconstitution of the sonic ambience of the battles". A large amount of the film was filmed in Mont Cornillet on the outskirts of Reims in Champagne, where Raymond Bernard said they "simply had to redig the trenches, traces of which were still in evidence." He used detectors from the army to search for and remove unexploded munitions due to the risk of the fake shells used in filming setting them off. They were then detonated in specially dug pits behind the cameras while lines were being delivered. The battles were described as "vibrant and convincing", with Bernard insisting that every actor have some form of combat experience. One such example is Pierre Blanchar, who was a victim of a gas attack in Verdun in 1916. Although Wooden Crosses was well received in France, it did not receive much attention outside of Europe aside from an American film named The Road to Glory, which was a loose remake of Wooden Crosses released in 1936. There were reports that Wooden Crosses caused veterans to commit suicide due to its accuracy, with one such report occurring as late as 1962 after its first TV screening. Cast & Characters: Pierre Blanchar as Gilbert Demachy Gabriel Gabrio as Sulphart Charles Vanel as Caporal Breval Raymond Aimos as Soldat Fouillard Antonin Artaud as Vieublé Paul Azaïs as Broucke René Bergeron as Hamel Raymond Cordy as Vairon Marcel Delaitre as Sergent Berthier Jean Galland as Capitaine Cruchet Pierre Labry as Bouffioux Geo Laby as Belin Jean-François Martial as Lemoine René Montis as Lieutenant Morache Marc Valbel as Maroux65 views -

Saint-Just et la Force des choses/Saint-Just and the Force of Circumstances (Film 1975-ENG SUB)
Adaneth - Cinema&TVSaint-Just et la Force des choses (Saint-Just and the Force of Circumstances, or Saint-Just and the Power of Things) is a French two-part dramatic television film (La Victoire and La Mort, both combined in one file) directed by Pierre Cardinal in 1974, broadcast in 1975, based on the eponymous historical work by Albert Ollivier. Audio in French with English subtitles. One of the most intriguing and influential figures of the French Revolution, Saint-Just, a powerful figure in Robespierre's government, whom he greatly admired, was nicknamed the Archangel of Terror. From 1790 to 1794, Louis Antoine de Saint-Just reigned supreme, but in those turbulent times, the guillotine was never far away. The film opens in 1790 in Blérancourt, a small village in Picardy, where the young and ardent Saint-Just dreams of going to Paris, to the heart of the revolutionary events, to continue his fight for the new ideas, alongside Robespierre, whom he admires. Elected in August 1792, at the Convention, he meets Robespierre and the Montagnards, and his talents as an orator and politician are quickly noticed by both the left and the right. In a feverish succession of events, we witness the meteoric rise of Saint-Just to the pinnacle of power and his tragic fall. A strongman of the revolutionary government, a victorious commissioner to the armies, and a theorist of terror, author of the infamous Ventôse Decrees, but also of the indictments against the Hébertists and the Dantonists, Saint-Just died by guillotine on July 28, 1794, caught up in the fall of Robespierre.
