Pszonisk creates a character as compelling as Depardieu's. His Robespierre is racked by doubts from the start jealous of Danton's popularity and power, yet willing to sacrifice all for the revolution. Pszonisk's careful acting and studied manmannarisms, as well as his fully convincing feverish fits of illness and anguish add wonderful dimensions to Robespierre. We are fully prepared for his pathetic final scene of self discovery as he realizes he has forsaken the goals of the revolution, and the words of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen echo in his head...
...irreverent cynicism favored by the later Holmes. The confines of a medieval monastery, with its many regulations, restrictions and mystical devotion, prove to be the ideal setting for a mystery. The very richness of the late medieval church culture--a tapestry of illuminated manuscripts, intricate architecture, relies, and feverish religious cults--would embellish any novel.

That is why several times last year Phil stood quivering and feverish in the living room, his loaded pistol pointed toward imaginary enemies he knew were lurking in the garage. Rita, emaciated like her husband, had her own bogeymen?strangers with X-ray vision outside the draped bedroom window?and she hid from them in the closet. The couple's paranoia was fleetingly sliced away, of course, as soon as they got high: they "free-based," breathing a distilled cocaine vapor, Phil alone all night with his glass water pipe and thimble of coke, Rita...
