Cinema Wednesdays - Jonas Follonier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A film dedicated to Charles de Gaulle has been missing. Gabriel le Bomin has made it. Choosing to retrace the months of April-May-June 1940 from the point of view of the general and his wife, the director signs with De Gaulle<\/em> an important and moving film, both in terms of the historical moment portrayed and the epic story of the de Gaulle family.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

De Gaulle<\/em>, despite its title, is not a biopic. Director Gabriel le Bomin, a well-known documentary filmmaker, has opted to focus the film on a specific moment in the history of France and that of Charles de Gaulle, not seeking to paint a hagiographic portrait of the statesman. We follow de Gaulle as he is temporarily promoted to brigadier general and appointed under-secretary of state, trying to convince Paul Reynaud, President of the French Council, to continue the war, against the advice of Marshal P\u00e9tain, who advocates talks with Hitler and the signing of an armistice. Following Reynaud's resignation and P\u00e9tain's arrival at the head of the government, de Gaulle went into exile in London, and from there, you know the story... or maybe you don't - in any case, go and see this film:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
