One couldn’t wish for a more painstakingly researched or beautifully rendered account of the infamous Dreyfus affair than Roman Polanski’s. A watershed for French society that challenged its reverential attitude to the army and the ingrained anti-Semitism of the time, it is a story well worth telling, and Polanski, co-screenwriter Robert Harris and star Jean Dujardin do it with meticulously researched grace and ease.
Then young Picquart, who was one of Dreyfus’ teachers in military school, is named the new head of the Secret Services, and destiny brings their lives together once more. He takes charge of a musty old building that smells of sewage and where the windows don’t open to relieve the stifling heat. The personnel he inherits isn’t any friendlier than the surroundings. His predecessor’s right-hand man, Col. Henry , is antagonistic from the start, grudging him access to secret papers and files.
Bound by duty and loyalty to the army, yet ruled by his conscience, the young head of the Secret Services takes his doubts up the ladder, from one general to another. They are of one mind: let the matter drop. Dreyfus has been sentenced and the army can’t admit it made a mistake. This means that Esterhazy will have to go free, to avoid complicating matters.
Grow up
Here’s a review: don’t watch anything made by a proud paedophile.
