What is the pitch of the film "J'accuse" released in 2019, directed by Roman Polanski and played by Jean Dujardin, Louis Garrel and Emmanuelle Seigner?
In 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, a French officer of Alsatian origin and of Jewish faith, was accused of providing secret French documents to the German Empire. This is the beginning of the Dreyfus Affair, which exploded in 1898 when Émile Zola, convinced of his innocence, sent a letter
"I accuse...!" to the President of the Republic. While the affair is tearing France apart and causing scandal throughout the world, Colonel Picquart, at the head of counter-espionage, discovers the extent of a vast judicial machination, lulled by colossal political and human stakes, and will not cease, therefore, to identify the real culprits and to rehabilitate Alfred Dreyfus, risking his career and his life. At the crossroads of the historical film and the spy thriller, "J'accuse" paints a watermark of a France damaged by the war of 1870-1871, weakened by its defeat against the Prussian army which ended in the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine. In a political context that makes the country angry and antipathic towards the Germans, a fight for honor and truth will prove both necessary and difficult. The foodtruck "Yolo Pizza" will be present on the square of December 2, 1870 (tables and chairs available).
