STARRING LAMBERT WILSON!

Lambert Wilson leads the movie project on De Gaulle

Mean while, March 4th was supposed to be a cinematic premiere date for another project on the famous general: DE GAULLE a historic film in which he is portrayed by Lambert Wilson. I don't know if the date was pushed due to corona outbreak or not but it did earn almost $5 million so far around the world so I guess it did play somewhere. The story of that film is set in Paris, June 1940. The de Gaulle couple (Lambert Wilson and Isabelle Carre) is confronted with the military and political collapse of France. Charles de Gaulle joins London while Yvonne, his wife, finds herself with her three children on the road of the exodus.
