History is not everybody's cup of tea as most people consider it as a boring subject wherein one is forced to remember various dates and exploits of political parties and royal families. However,there are ways to make history appear more approachable. Italian director Ettore Scola has been able to get a lot of success in this domain by directing 'La Nuit De Varennes' which is not only historical but also an important road movie.It can easily be christened 'a historical road movie'. By blending facts and fiction director Ettore Scola has created a powerful film about the significance of the French revolution with a major focus on the escape of French royal family from Paris until Varennes.There are no dull moments in this film which clocks roughly 150 minutes as the presence of legendary figures Casanova and Restif De La Bretonne in a stagecoach is enough to kindle audiences' interest.The audiences learn that till the last minute there was immense amount of sympathy for the monarchy. Scola shows that there were people who would support the king at all times.The film is not a real history lesson but loses no time in establishing that French king's supporters had failed to realize that the king had completely lost poor people's sympathies.
