Brilliant, albeit your mileage may vary depending on how you interpret it. For my part, Brook seems most interested in documenting the maniacal, self-consuming character of the revolution and 'the point' seems to be something like 'with ideological friends like these, who needs enemies?' The 'debates' between de Sade and Marat are intellectually stimulating (I find both of their views abhorrent, but that does not mean they are uninteresting). The camera work is manic and unpredictable, fitting the setting perfectly.
