'''''Chouans!''''' is a 1988 French historical adventure romance film directed by [[Philippe de Broca]] based on the 1829 novel ''Les Chouans'' by Honoré de Balzac. The story introduces us to the aftermath of the French Revolution, where the newly-created republic faces off against royalist rebels, called ''Chouans'', led by Count de Kerfadec ([[Philippe Noiret]]). Most rebels are more desperados and bandits than soldiers, interested in robbing stagecoaches than restoring the monarchy. Yet, they manage to induce a peasants' rebellion in Brittany. Kerfadec's ward Céline ([[Sophie Marceau]]) is torn between the love and political ambitions of two young men - Aurèle ([[Stéphane Freiss]]), a noble heart and soul - and Tarquin ([[Lambert Wilson]]), a devoted Republican. | |||
