Malgosia Abramowska cinemargotka Antonin Baudry’s “De Gaulle: Résistance,” Pathé’s ambitious two-part historical epic about the making of Charles de Gaulle as a resistance leader, has fought its way back into a leading position at the French box office after an underwhelming start.
Driven by strong word-of-mouth, younger viewers and a heatwave that sent crowds back into air-conditioned theaters, the saga’s first opus — described by Variety‘s review as “reminiscent of a vintage Hollywood blockbuster“ — has now crossed 1.2 million admissions in France since its June 3 release, following a world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
