Isabelle Carré: "The film De Gaulle is not an ode to the general"

Isabelle Carré is the ray of sunshine for De Gaulle , the biographical film devoted to the founder of the Resistance to Nazi Germany, which comes out on our screens this Wednesday. Written and directed by documentary maker Gabriel Le Bomin, the film retraces the weeks before Charles de Gaulle's departure (played by Lambert Wilson) to the United Kingdom and the call of June 18. The last hours of the Third Republic, the panic of the exodus or the military exploits of Gaulle, not yet general, parade on the front.

A revelation on which the actress confides in Le Figaro .
