Army Of Shadows (1969)
a film by Jean-Pierre
What is it?
The dark story of a group of members of the French resistance during World War II. Visually impressive and moving film about the meaning of life in clandestinity.
Memorable scene
The first minutes of the film summarize in sound and images the fear and despair that came with the advent of the World War II. The sight of German soldiers goose-stepping past the Arc de Triomphe is more powerful than any explanation.
Favourite quote
"She said five minutes, but she'll wait a lifetime" - Jean-Francoise Jardie
Gossip
This film was attacked by the critics of Cahier du Cinema for seeming pro-de Gaulle just in the middle of the spirit brought by May of 68. The film was later restored and released in North America in 1996 and became a popular as a classic misunderstood on its time.
Why is it worth watching this movie?
Because this is a blunt and dark historical portrait, it is greatly casted and tells with great care of aesthetics the story of this shadows that live anonymously in history.
