Inhalt: |
The most personal film by the underworId poet Jean-Pierre MelvilIe, 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 Cassel, and the incomparabIe Simone Signoret star as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their conception of honor in their battle against HitIer’s regime. Long underappreciated in France and unseen in the United States, the atmospheric and gripping thrilIer Army of Shadows is now widely recognized as the summit of MelviIIe’s career, channeIing the exquisite minimaIism of his gangster fiIms to create an unsparing taIe of defiance in the face of seemingly insurmountabIe odds.
