Notes: From Lesdieux Ont Soif By Anatole France
Synopsis: Liberty follows the journey of a cheerless ideologue, Evariste Gamelin. We first meet an artist seeking to become a politician at a picnic in what was known as the month of Meadows in Year I of the short-lived revolutionary calendar. His fellow revellers are an ill-matched bunch: Elodie, an embroidress, wants the love of Evariste; Rose is a chorus girl with higher ambitions and Philippe is an unprincipled fellow artist. By far the most intriguing pairing are the oldies. Louise, a political changeling desperate to meet the People's Friend, Marat, while a louche Duke transformes into a sweet-natured puppet-maker. Their brief Edenic idyll soon comes to grief as the Revolution gets serious under "Robespierre and (the) nine lunatics in charge of France". As Evariste becomes an increasingly unbending magistrate and continues to climb the greasy pole, his friends are incriminated one by one until, inevitably, he too falls like dead Marat and Robespierre, allowing a hopeful ending.
