French TOWERING INFERNO, but nearly fifty years later and involving Notre Dame instead of a gigantic tower building. As far as I know, that's the only and first French disaster film ever made; but maybe I am wrong. I have seen only forty thousand films in my life. It is truly a masterpiece, Jean Jacques Annaud lost nothing of his talent, his awesome skills, forty years after LA GUERRE DU FEU. It's fire war - GUERRE DU FEU - again.... It's as awesome as his first epic, back in 1981, which was about another topic of course. It is great, accurate, providing thousands of details about this disaster. Everything you wished to know about it, you have here. Except maybe the real reasons of the fire. Accidental? Maybe. Maybe. But never forget that president Macron was in a bad position in April 2019, bad political position, because of the Yellow Jackets "revolution" that spread all over France. And this tragedy over Notre Dame was the best decoy for him, to "help" people forgetting for a long while the Yellow Jackets wrath. That's my own opinion. An accident? Maybe. Maybe.
