June 1940 saw the threat to France from the Nazi war machine massively escalate and many in the French government thought that capitulating to Hitler was the only way to save the country and its people from almost complete devastation. de Gaulle was in the minority in wanting to present an aggressive and optimistic approach to the battle with the German troops.

He believed so strongly, he left his country and young family behind in France as occupational forces overwhelmed the country to travel to England in an attempt to rally support from the British and to strengthen the resolve of the French people in their resistance. His efforts alienated him from his fellow ministers and even lead him to being branded a traitor and having warrants issued for his arrest.

Lambert Wilson plays Charles de Gaulle with the stubbornness and implacable nature that he was famous for but the film also highlights his love for family and especially his daughter Anne who suffered from Down’s syndrome. This multiplicity was at the heart of this complicated and historically important man. De Gaulle once said to Winston Churchill that the French people thought he was a reincarnation of Joan of Arc, to which Churchill replied that the English had had to burn the last one.

It is May 1940, where the war between Germany and its neighbours has intensified. Shockingly, the French army collapses, and Hitler seizes Paris. The government is in panic and considers accepting defeat, but recently promoted two-star General Charles de Gaulle (The Translators’ Lambert Wilson), wants to change the course of history…

His wife, Yvonne (Isabelle Carré), is his first support, but very quickly events spiral out of control and separate them – she and their children set out on the roads of exodus, as Charles travels to London to meet with Winston Churchill. He wants to make another voice heard: that of resistance.

Matching the impact and scale of recent war dramas The Darkest Hour and The King’s Choice as it depicts crucial incidents in gripping tick-tock fashion, Le Bomin expertly mixes the historic and the Romanesque, charting both a military debacle and the eventual revelation of a destiny.

De Gaulle will be released in Australian cinemas May 6!

The eagerly awaited final book of a best-selling Dragon Tattoo-esque French trilogy is about to be globally released, and nine international language experts have been hired to translate it into their native tongues (English, Danish, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Greek and German). With the stakes so high, the supercilious publisher (Lambert Wilson) has them on lock-down, confined together in a bunker – without any contact to the outside world – until the task is completed.

So when the first ten pages of the top-secret manuscript inexplicably leak online with a ransom threat, it’s evident that the thief could only be amongst them. Their increasingly paranoid and desperate captor is ready to do whatever it takes to unmask him… or her… or them.

Starring Lambert Wilson, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Olga Kurylenko, Riccardo Scamarcio, The Translators will be released in Australian cinemas (ex. Victoria) September 17!
