Churchill, le lion au coeur tendre

115 mins

Stéphane Bern takes us to England to meet the most Rabelaisian of the English, lover of France and savior of Europe: Sir Winston Churchill. When asked what was the secret of his longevity, he replied: "It's sport... I never do it!" The whole character of Winston Churchill is contained in this answer. A subtly Rabelaisian spirit inhabited this descendant of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, in love with culture, France, cigars, drink and just about anything exciting, including war. The "Old Lion", as he is nicknamed, represents the quintessence of phlegm and British humor. With the assistance of Sir Nicholas Soames, grandson of Winston Churchill; Celia Sandy, granddaughter of Winston Churchill; Minnie Churchill, step-granddaughter of Winston Churchill; Lady Williams, former private secretary to Winston Churchill; Béatrix de L'Aulnoit, writer; François Kersaudy, historian; Guy Gauthier, historian; Guillaume Piketty, historian; Antoine Capet, historian; Richard Davis, historian; Christian Pol Roger, Pol Roger house; Mona Parra, historian.
