'De Gaulle': Film Review
As handsomely assembled as one of Le Général’s impeccable military attires, and just as glorifyingly dull, the new biopic De Gaulle shows the infamous Gallic leader juggling personal and professional duties during a pivotal moment in his career: the moment he entered history just as his country was capitulating to Germany in WWII. It’s certainly a subject worthy of big screen treatment, especially for a major 20th century figurehead who’s rarely been fictionalized on screen save for cameos in films like Army of Shadows and The Day of the Jackal, or leading roles in a handful of French telefilms.
