J´Accuse

Jaccuse, director Abel Gances (Napoleon) indictment of war, is a tale of romance and idealism in the tradition of Tolstoys War and Peace and Jean Renoirs La Grande Illusion.

Set against the backdrop of World War I, the idealistic poet Jean Diaz (Victor Francen, A Farewell to Arms), in pursuit of a higher calling, having witnessed the horrors of war, seeks to create a technology that will put an end to future bloodshed.

Jeans hopes for a peaceful resolution are soon dashed when investor Henri Chimax (Jean-Max, Satans Paradise) appropriates Jeans plans knowing that another world war, looming on the horizon, will profit him financially.

Jaccuse features supporting performances by Line Noro (Pépé le Moko), Paul Amiot (Le Cercle Rouge), André Nox (Savage Brigade) and Marie Lou (The Woman Thief).
