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.
