Summary
A long-forgotten epic gem from Jean Renoir. Made towards the end of France's left wing "Popular Front" government when Europe was on the brink of war, LA MARSEILLAISE is a markedly political film about a country in flux. With an innovative new-reel style, the film follows a cross-section of people - from the citizens of Marseilles to Louis XVI - who are affected by the shifting political and social forces in the early days of the French revolution
