Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Jean-Jacques Annaud envisioned his movie with 5% of it being footage from the actual event, smartphone videos, TV footage, etc. Thus, a year before release, he publicly announced he needed footage for the traffic jams the fire caused, for the spontaneous praying scenes, and for some international TV reports. He even set up a website so that everyone could send their own videos.
- GoofsAt 1h20m42s the "live stream" of the Collossus appears clearly to be a video running on MPC due to the Option Menu showing after a right click on the footage.

Featured review
On the one hand, it's very interesting how this film is almost devoid of a personal history or development of the characters. Also there is are no real main roles at all. On the other hand, it's what's missing to make it entertaining. So we see a lot of rescue workers who don't really know what to do, a city population that ignores and hinders the rescue workers and an 800 years old cathedral that almost burns down completely.
Not so exciting, because apart from the tragedy of the destruction, nothing special happens. No special event shown or a known reason is told for this catastrophy that answers our only question: why this happened? ... like in millions of other fires where old buildings simply start burning for seemingly no reason. But is this enough for a entertaining flick? I think not. Not if it's not artfully staged and it isn't. Sometimes you even think you're watching a B-movie.
A real documentary would have been more exciting than an entertainment film without a real story that doesn't know what it's supposed to be.
