L'Armée des Romantiques S01E01 - La révolution romantique (1827-1832)

Paris 1827, a young generation of artists, led by Hugo, Dumas and Delacroix, is determined to revolutionize art. Romanticism makes its entrance in France. With Sardanapalus as its manifesto, this new artistic movement breaks the codes and invents a new way of writing, painting and composing. Hernani, La Peau de Chagrin, Notre Dame de Paris, the Symphonie Fantastique, will make this romantic army triumph, ready to do anything to make a name for itself and win the battle against the classics. From their artistic commitment will be born a political conscience. While in the streets the people grumble and demand the Republic, they will not stop fighting until freedom is in power.
