Con The Peterloo tragedy, British Mike Leigh shows that he is still on a roll. After the exquisite Turner, Leigh delights us with another period drama wrapped in an elegant production.

All of this will awaken a political movement in defense of a new social order that will take place in the city of Manchester.. But the repression will be ruthless. G.LEON
