The second part of Antonin Baudry’s two-part series devoted to the figure of the General – as epic as ever – follows De Gaulle (Simon Abkarian) in his quest for freedom and for French sovereignty.
‘Liberté’ brings this defining chapter in the General’s life – and in France’s destiny – to a close. Moving beyond the events of the first instalment, this second film begins in 1939 and follows a series of parallel struggles, all aimed at establishing Free France – against the German enemy, of course, but also against the American allies. This decidedly ambitious French blockbuster, which is even better than ‘’Part 1 – Résistance’, is a monumental homage to France, de Gaulle and his obstinate fight for ‘La France libre’. Featuring Campbell Scott as President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Simon Russell Beale as Prime Minister Winston Churchill. (Subtitles)
