Why do I always seem to find out about these things too late?

[montagnarde1793]

I want to see this movie and now it's too late. ;_____;

Granted, I have no idea if it's any good, and until now I didn't even know it existed, let alone that they were putting it on in Arras last weekend. But still, how can this film exist without my having seen it? The worst is, there are a lot of things I would like to see that I'm too late for - the Revolution, for one - but generally they're things it would have been impossible for me to see anyway (I can't exactly will myself to be born more than 200 years earlier), but this is different. Seeing this movie was temporally and spatially within my grasp and I didn't see it. Instead, I caught up on my reading. I can do that any time. Why, universe, why? D: D: D:

Hi! I've never heard about this one either. It's absolutely impossible to find it! IMDb doesn't have it, nor toutlecine.com. And I'm desperate to see at least a bit of it, a scene, a few seconds! :(
I want to visit Arras. And I want to time travel.
Okay, I'm depressed now.

That movie looks so interesting! I had been looking for a movie about the French Revolution without that stupid cliché of the Evil-Paranoid Robespierre. You can recommend me one? And if it have an actor who looks like him, better. I'm new on this... I don't know where start to search

I googled around and found this (it's a .doc file):

"ROBESPIERRE de Hervé Pernot (France, 1989)
Contesté, diabolisé, idéalisé, Robespierre reste aujourd'hui un personnage qui suscite des passions, incarnation de la Terreur ou chantre de l'idéal révolutionnaire.
Réalisé pour Arte, ce docu-fiction retrace les grandes étapes de la carrière de cette figure majeure de la Révolution Française.

Version 50 minutes pour les classes à la demande."

So there might be a copy you could ask for...? Perhaps? Hopefully?
