Danton’s Death (2020)
An avant-garde adaptation of the play by Georg Buchner about the last days of the Dantonists, representatives of the right wing of the Jacobins during the French Revolution. The director freely experiment with form and content, draws parallels with the present day and raises the question point-blank: why does the revolution, like the ancient Greek titan Kronos, always devour its children?

Reviews
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
