What a fantastic film. I am getting really impressed by these masterpieces of French cinema. The whole film has a subtle underlayer of suspense running through, and the backdrop of the French Resistance during Nazi occupation conveys a very strong message of anti-war sentiments. The background shots are absolutely awesome, the direction crisp and the actors are brilliant. This has been hailed by critics as a lost masterpiece, and I couldn't agree more.
Return, Alky, Fort, Psycho d, Chrono, NE, Elvis, Zwoti, anyone else loving French film noir...see if you can find this near you. Trust me totally and blind-buy Army of Shadows asap.
