The TVI Take
The French Resistance during WWII. Jean-Pierre Melville's film is formally exceptional — the extreme economy of the direction and the bleak atmosphere create something unlike any other war film.
Educational about the specific texture of Resistance life. Lino Ventura's performance is extraordinary.
