I've watched the Robespierre part in Le serin du major (1982) and I need you all to see Jean-Paul Farré as Robespierre because he is GREAT, it makes me sad he wasn't cast in a bigger/more interesting movie as Robespierre (I do have to find Joséphine ou la comédie des ambitions, where he also plays Robespierre).
He's a short, physically unimpressive man but his first seconds on screen, when he won't talk or look at the man talking to him and just stares at the birds, are very unerving.
He's friendly but also aloof and sharp?
HIS VOICE, oh my supreme being, his voice is perfect given what we know of Robespierre's? It's high-pitched and slightly grating, but it grows on you in the few minutes he's on screen? His delivery is also interesting, fast-paced but very careful and deliberate.
The way he can't stop playing with the birds or looking at them? (but he should be gentler about it, especially with the cage's door)
His face shape and green-brown eyes also work very well?
This movie (set in 1786 in Metz) is very much pre-Revolution in spirit and they choose to include Robespierre and present him in a positive light? This is so good.
Also I'm convinced he's wearing Negroni's coat from La Terreur et la Vertu (1964) and also possibly his black hair/wig band? In any case his outfit is very Negroni-inspired.
The "major" breaking the fourth wall at the beginning and telling us "it's Monsieur de Robespierre!!" is very cute and funny.
