Chouans! is a 1988 French historical adventure film directed by Philippe de Broca and starring Sophie Marceau, Philippe Noiret, and Lambert Wilson. [1] Based on the 1829 novel Les Chouans by Honoré de Balzac, the film is about a woman who must choose between two brothers on opposite sides of the French Civil War of 1793. [2] For her performance in the film, Sophie Marceau received the Cabourg Romantic Film Festival Award for Best Actress. [3]
Plot
In 1793, during the French Revolution, a young woman named Céline ( Sophie Marceau), who was adopted by Count Savinien de Kerfadec, must choose between two men who have been raised like her brothers, Tarquin Larmor ( Lambert Wilson) and Aurèle de Kerfadec ( Stéphane Freiss), while they take opposite sides in the conflict. Tarquin, also adopted by the Count, is a partisan of the First French Republic and defends the new political system; Aurèle, the Count's natural son, supports Royalism. Both sons are in love with Céline. After the French Revolutionary Army decimates the Breton people, an insurgency of peasants, clergy, and aristocrats launches a guerrilla war called the Chouannerie.
