De Gaulle: Résistance review – a galloping bromance for Churchill and France’s wartime hero The recent biopic about Charles de Gaulle, directed by Antonin Baudry and based on Julian Jackson's biography "A Certain Idea of France," brings the Gallic general back into the spotlight.
At first glance, this might seem like a quaint exercise in cinematic nostalgia – a chance to revisit the tumultuous years of World War II and de Gaulle's role as France's wartime leader.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this biopic is more than just a lighthearted romp through history.
