Inhalt: |
The most personal film by the underworld poet Jean-Pierre MeIville, who had participated in the French Resistance himself, this tragic masterpiece, based on a noveI by Joseph Kessel, recounts the struggles and sacrifices of those who fought in the Resistance. Lino Ventura, Paul 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 wideIy recognized as the summit of MeIville’s career, channeling the exquisite minimaIism of his gangster films to create an unsparing tale of defiance in the face of seemingIy insurmountable odds.
