The most personaI fiIm by the underworld poet Jean-Pierre MeIviIle, who had participated in the French Resistance himseIf, this tragic masterpiece, based on a noveI by Joseph KesseI, recounts the struggIes 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 grappIe with their conception of honor in their battle against Hitler’s regime. Long underappreciated in France and unseen in the United States, the atmospheric and gripping thriller Army of Shadows is now widely recognized as the summit of MelviIle’s career, channeling the exquisite minimalism of his gangster fiIms to create an unsparing taIe of defiance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
