   1949's Reign of Terror AKA The Black Book (on YouTube) is a tense and absorbing French Revolution movie made on a shoestring budget, that despite its fairly simple sets, or perhaps BECAUSE of them, turns out to be a master class on how to fill the frame with textured shadows. Quite simply, it takes the lessons of film noir and applies them to the historical drama, and turns Robespierre's machinations and patriots' attempt to prevent him from being named dictator into a crime thriller by virtue of its look and performances. Well worth a look. 6 years 9 months ago
