Robespierre and the Jacobans
About Robespierre and the Jacobans!
Robespierre and the Jacobans is a sad movie, indeed. While being based upon the true-life events during the French Revolution surrounding the Reign of Terror by Maximilien ("Max") Robespierre, this film is also the climatic finale to the MacAfee Trilogy.
The decorated director Bryan MacAfee made this film as a school project during the spring of 1998. Working with only a printout of the history, MacAfee and I whipped together a quickie movie, about five minutes long, about Robespierre, the Reign of Terror, and the Jacobans who knocked him off.
MacAfee showed the film to his class the next day, and got a rather good grade for it, all things considered. And then the film vanished! Believed to have been taped over, I still have hopes in its recovery someday. And heck, if it's before July, I'll add it to the home video of A House in the Woods Special Edition.
If you want more information about the real Robespierre and his Jacoban pals (and Marat, too!) then you'll have to do your own research here. I'm not the Reign of Terror scholar, and I'm not gonna try to give a big story about it. Sorry, but that's how things are.
ALLER MAISON!
