Bastille (film)

Bastille is a Dutch film by Rudolf van den Berg with Derek de Lint and Evelyne Dress in the leading role.

History teacher Paul de Wit, a forty-year-old man, is having a hard time.

For years he's been working on book on the flight of King Louis XVI during the French Revolution.

He is Jewish and born during the Second World War, his parents were gassed as well as his twin brother Philip, a fact which he learns at a later time.

At the Place de la Bastille, the starting point of the French Revolution, Pauline takes a picture of Paul.

At first, van den Berg studied political science because he was interested in the connections between the oppressor and his victims with a few brave ones in between the two.
