Watch a clip from Abel Gance's J'accuse

From Napoleon director Abel Gance, this 1938 classic is one of cinema's finest anti-war movies, and will be available on Dual Format Edition Blu-ray & DVD from 24 July 2017 http://shop.bfi.org.uk/pre-order-j-ac... Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI. Acclaimed as one of cinema’s finest anti-war movies, Abel Gance’s rousing indictment of warfare is as powerful and relevant today as it was on its original release. Having experienced the horrors of World War I at first hand, idealistic poet Jean Diaz (Victor Francen, A Farewell to Arms) turns to technology in a bid to prevent further barbarity. But, faced with a meddling and unscrupulous bureaucracy, Jean’s plans are hijacked as Europe slides inevitably towards another great conflict. Using his epic 1919 silent version of the film as a template, Gance pits man’s romanticism against its capacity for savagery. Originally released on the eve of World War II (and the same year as Jean Renoir's La Grande Illusion), J’accuse urges us to honour the memory of those who have fallen in previous conflicts and to learn from the catastrophic lessons of the past.
