COMMUNITY REVIEWS

if you're interested in History, and the French Revolution in particular, this should be great to watch submitted by Tassos on December 25, 2021, 7:21pm as it was for me. But if you are on a steady diet of worthless Hollywood crap, similar to the junk food you are addicted to, then you will not appreciate it.

All politics is theater.
