Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
De Gaulle Biopic opens in Crouch End Picturehouse
This newly released French film seems to have garnered some positive reviews in the serious press but seems to be on quite a limited release. it seems to be on in Crouch End for just a week in Screen 5 (with just 22 seats).
My interest is that my maternal grandfather was a captain in the French Army and stayed in the area around Lyon / St Etienne fighting in the Resistance.
I share in case other with an interest have missed it.

Hi Hugh
Thanks for this. Saw the film on Saturday. It was fabulous. Part 2, Liberation, opens on September 18.

I thought it was a tremendous film. Fascinating to see the story told from a French perspective. I knew little about DeGaulle's story.
