![]() ![]() Yes, there are some unintentionally amusing scenes, such as when a heroic Vendean girl successfully intimidates a couple of even younger republican soldiers with a rolling pin (if only it had been that easy!), and what is almost certainly the only depiction ever of Robespierre with braces (and, at one moment, digitally enhanced glowing red eyes, in case we didn't know he's evil). Yes, it is a bit odd that all the cast are children or teenagers (though as director Jim Morlino pointed out in an interview, most of the actual Vendeans were relatively young themselves). Anyone who compared this film unfavorably to big-budget Hollywood productions would be missing the point. Yesterday my copy arrived in the mail so I was able to watch the movie myself.
