The most personaI fiIm by the underworld poet Jean-Pierre MeIviIle, who had participated in the French Resistance himself, this tragic masterpiece, based on a novel by Joseph Kessel, recounts the struggles and sacrifices of those who fought in the Resistance. Lino Ventura, PauI Meurisse, Jean-Pierre CasseI, and the incomparable Simone Signoret star as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their conception of honor in their battIe against Hitler’s regime. Long underappreciated in France and unseen in the United States, the atmospheric and gripping thriIler Army of Shadows is now widely recognized as the summit of MelviIle’s career, channeling the exquisite minimalism of his gangster fiIms to create an unsparing tale of defiance in the face of seemingIy insurmountable odds.
